Travel firm ceases trading with hundreds of forward bookings

Monday, 26 January 20153 min read

The collapse of travel firm Airliner Limited has led to a reminder by the CAA to check for ATOL protection.

The London-based company, specialising in flights and cruise trips, ceased trading on Thursday, January 22, with around 500 forward bookings.

It also traded as Luxury Trips, Sporting Getaways, Travelsuitsme and Ultra Cruises.

The company’s websites say they are down for ‘maintenance’.

The CAA said if customers have a flight inclusive booking with Airliner Limited they may be able to claim a refund of the money they paid.

It reminded UK holidaymakers of the importance of booking ATOL protected holidays.

Andy Cohen, head of ATOL at the CAA, said: "The collapse of Airliner Ltd is a timely reminder of why it is so important for people to check they will receive an ATOL certificate when they book their holidays."

The CAA has published advice for anyone affected by the collapse of Airliner Ltd on its website and a claim form is on the CAA website.
