ATOL (Air Travel Organiser's Licence)

The Air Travel Organiser's Licence (ATOL) is a protection scheme in the UK designed to safeguard consumers who book package holidays or flights through travel companies. If a company with an ATOL license fails or goes bankrupt, the scheme ensures that customers can get a refund or repatriation. Companies must display their ATOL number in advertisements, allowing travelers to verify that their payments are protected. This helps provide peace of mind when planning travel, knowing that your investment is secure against potential financial loss.
