Wonder what happened if they had spent up and could not pay.

I'm not sure there was insurance on this particular flight, I recall an article about it on the radio where they were explaining that the company who organised the flights weren't covered by the requisite regulations. It was a matter of pay up or get stranded on the airside of customs with no permission to enter the country and therefore no ability to rebook with another operator.
