That's amazing that they're doing that but I'm guessing as they were empty outbound they wouldn't have been flights you could actually buy or be booked onto (ie. cancelled). It's just seems like an odd way of dealing with it - surely you just cancel the flight, issue refunds and move on. I wonder if they've run out of money.
