London agency fails
Potters Bar-based First Call (London) has become the latest high street agency to cease trading.
The agency’s ABTA membership was terminated in April when it failed to provide additional bonding.
A spokesman for ABTA said it didn’t know how many forward bookings the agency had.
Retail claims will be handled by ABTA’s Claims Department and ATOL claims will be handled by the Civil Aviation Authority.
