The CAA says a total 10,500 Golden Sun Holidays customers were abroad when the operator went bust last week.
It says it will try to ensure that the holidaymakers in Greece, Cyprus, Portugal and Croatia can continue their holidays and travel home as planned under the protection of ATOL.
Golden Sun and its associate, Airglobe Holidays, based in North West London ceased trading last week. They has an ATOL bond of £9.8 million and were licensed to sell approximately 200,000 holidays annually.
Around 20,000 people who had forward bookings with the companies will be refunded. The CAA says it expects “a large number of customer claims”. It is advising customers and agents to download claim forms from the ATOL website.
