Britain's worst performing airline charter company has left Gatwick airport and gone into receivership.

Swedish-based Transjet announced it is pulling out of all its UK bases.

More than 60 jobs are expected to go across the country after the company, which flew between the UK, Greece and Sweden, admitted it was unable to pay its staff.

The company, which recorded the worst average delays - 103 minutes - had problems from its launch in 2000.

A spokesman for BAA confirmed Transjet was no longer flying from Gatwick but other airlines were picking up its passengers.

Transjet operated three Boeing 747s and six McDonald Douglas MD-83 aircraft.
