@Peter S.
TBH insurance for repatriation has become a bit of a red herring. The de-facto position for Monarch and again now for TCX is that CAA organise flights and they're used by all whether on IT package or not. I've not even heard Simon Calder (the media's go to for travel) asked to opine on whether travel insurance covered return flights.
Between 10:00Z and 22:00Z today there are six repatriation flights from Corfu alone. All have flight numbers for UK operator Titan but in reality are being operated by third parties - some at least airlines from Baltics that were previously covering summer flights for TCX. That won't be cheap.
Passengers who were on IT flights will have paid a levy towards the 'disaster' fund underwriting those costs. Those sitting next to them who booked flight and hotel separately will not.
Just need to level the playing field that's all.
