Air Travel Organisers' Licensing (ATOL)

The Air Travel Organisers' Licence (ATOL) is a UK financial protection scheme for travelers booking package holidays or flights through licensed travel companies. It ensures that if your travel company goes out of business before or during your trip, you won’t lose money or be stranded; instead, you'll receive a full refund or alternative arrangements. ATOL licensing is managed by the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), and companies must meet strict financial and customer service standards to be licensed. This scheme provides peace of mind and security for travelers booking holiday packages within the UK.
