The ATOL is a statutory scheme - that is, a scheme based on a legal requirement for licensing, and it is managed by the Consumer Protection Group section of the UK Civil Aviation Authority. This licence, together with the associated Bonding, is renewed annually and tour operators are required to go through a rigorous inspection before it is renewed. The ATOL is designed to cover all package tours that involve flights from the UK. It was first introduced in 1972 and gives comprehensive consumer protection to 28 million people in the UK who buy flights or air holidays each year. ATOL is also the only protection scheme for flights and air holidays sold by tour operators in the UK. |
