Primera Air was a Danish budget airline offering discount tickets across the Atlantic Ocean, with one of its hubs at Dulles Airport. Emphasis on “was.”

On October 1, while some flights were still in the air and many more were scheduled, the carrier announced it had suspended its service indefinitely as it filed for bankruptcy. Two flights from London’s Stansted Airport, including one to Dulles, were grounded, reported The Times of London.

“On behalf of Primera Air team, we would like to thank you for your loyalty,” the website reads. “On this sad day we are saying Goodbye to all of you.” The airline had 15 planes, and blamed some of its financial woes on losing one aircraft to “severe corrosion problems.”

Some passengers learned about Primera’s closure when they arrived at the airport. Pavithra Priyadarshini, a student traveling from Dulles back home to England, told Business Insider she found out when she saw the abandoned check-in desk at the Virginia airport on Monday night.

“I just came here and saw two notices that all flights had been canceled because the company had been bankrupted in the check-in counter,” Priyadarshini told BI. “There is no customer support here. Literally no one. I tried calling them, but there’s no one answering the calls.”

Priyadarshini told the BBC that, without the money to book another flight or pay for a hotel, she’s basically stranded at the airport. “I don’t know what I’m going to do,” she said. “I’m just sitting in the airport.” According to the BBC, she is trying to raise money from friends and family to get home.

Other passengers are stranded in airports across the globe. According to one crew member in Toronto, crews are stuck in Dulles, in addition to Toronto, Boston, New York, Paris, and Keflavik.

Dulles released a statement on Monday afternoon, saying that the five weekly flights between the airport and London were ceasing, and encouraged would-be passengers to visit the airline’s website for updates.

Norwegian Air is offering repatriation fares to people affected by Primera’s shuttering, but it does not fly out of Dulles.

An estimated 60,000 travelers are affected by the news from Primera, which was selling tickets on its website as recently as this past weekend, according to The Telegraph, which reports that people who booked their flights directly with the airline will not be paid back.

Because Primera has terminated its staff, there was no one available for comment.
