Balkan Holidays: ATOL

Asked by Chris CurtisLabourDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 14 May 2025UIN 50664

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for what reason the Civil Aviation Authority renewed the ATOL licence for Balkan Holidays on 1 April 2025; and whether she plans to reform financial protection in the travel sector.

Answered by Mike Kane

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is independently responsible for administering the ATOL scheme. Decisions on ATOL licence renewal decisions are for the CAA to take independently.

The Department continues to work with the CAA on options for ATOL reform. We expect to provide an update on progress later this year.
