The name "Unister" covers a lot of different companies who provide several websites, most of which deal with travel booking. Some of those companies have now filed an insolvency application at court, namely: Unister Holding GmbH, Urlaubstours GmbH, Unister GmbH, U-Deals GmbH.
According to the preliminary insolvency administrator, the Unister Travel Betriebsgesellschaft mbH has filed a respective application as well. This company operates the websites "fluege.de" and partly "ab-in-den-urlaub.de".
In most cases, "Unister" is only the travel agency and therefore intermediary. The contractual partner of the tourist is the tour operator, airline or hotel.
However, Urlaubstours is a tour operator, but they announced that right now, trips will be normally operated. Furthermore, tour operators who offer package travel have to be prepared and secured in case of insolvency.
