London-based operator Orama Travel Limited has ceased trading.
The Civil Aviation Authority called in the ATOL bond of Orama this week. The company, based in Queensway, sold package holidays and flight only seats to Caribbean and Mediterranean destinations.
The CAA has used an ATOL bond of £179,250 to refund customers and allow those abroad to complete their holiday. Customers can fill out the claim form on the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk.
According to the CAA its bonds protect around 28 million British holidaymakers each year. Over the past 17 years, ATOL has managed over 300 tour operator failures and flown over 190,000 people home after they were stranded abroad.
