Thomas Cook's Manchester Airport-based maintence arm is to close down, two months after the tour operator collpsed.
The Insolvency Service confirmed on Thursday that Thomas Cook Aircraft Engineering will be wound down and close as the group is liquidated.
A number of staff were kept on in Manchester after Thomas Cook went into administration in late September with the loss of 9,000 jobs.
KPMG, which has been appointed as special manager of the company, is contacting staff with the information they need to claim redundancy payments, the Government said.
In October at a jobs fair for Thomas Cook staff the Manchester Evening News spoke to David Swain, 60, a senior maintenance programme controller at Thomas Cook Engineering.
He told how he was part of a small workforce that has been temporarily retained until all the firm's planes were returned.
Speaking at the time he said: "Fourteen of my colleagues went on Monday.
"We don't know how long we've got left, once they've repatriated the airline, we'll be done.
"I woke up on Monday when my radio alarm went off and it was on the news.
"I need to find work, I can't quite afford to retire, but there's no chance I'll get a job at the same level as this."
The engineering arm was taken over by Thomas Cook as part of the 2007 merger with £1.1 billion MyTravel, and was renamed from MyTravel Aircraft Engineering.
The Government also said that Thomas Cook employees who have been off sick for more than six months cannot expect to get any more payments from the firm.
It told staff to speak to insurance companies about future payments, and the Official Receiver is looking into missing payments that some employees were expecting in September.
Thomas Cook collapsed into administration two months ago after months of problems drove the company over the edge.
However the name is set to outlive the 178-year-old company after Chinese company Fosun snapped up the rights to it at the beginning of November.

And last month, Sunderland-based Hays Travel bought the company's 555 high street stores for £6 million. It has managed to save most of them, and recently embarked on a massive hiring spree to find 1,500 new members of staff for its 745 shops across the country.
The company's Scandinavian arm was bought by Petter Stordalen and private equity fund Altor, in a deal which could save 2,300 jobs.
The Norwegian and his family are the owners of Scandinavia's largest hotel chain, Nordic Choice Hotels, and he has a net worth 1.4 billion US dollars (£1.1 billion), according to Forbes.
