The Civil Aviation Authority has published a summary of the responses to its consultation on the proposed ATOL reform.
The consultation followed the Government’s decision last October to go ahead with the introduction of a £1 ATOL Protection Contribution (APC) to replenish the Air Travel Trust Fund (ATTF) and reform bonding arrangements from April 1.
Interested parties can view the consultation responses on the CAA’s website at www.caa.co.uk/atolconsultation.
Richard Jackson, director of the CAA’s Consumer Protection Group, which manages ATOL, said: “We have received 35 responses from a cross-section of licence holders, industry associations and consumer organisations, who have made some very useful and constructive points about our proposals.
“The industry associations were particularly supportive. We are pleased to consider these to see how they can improve our regulatory oversight of ATOL holders.â€
He said once the CAA has fully considered the responses to the consultation it will publish the new standard terms on its website in March.
