COVID-19: CAA Places New Conditions on ATOL Renewals

The CAA has announced that it is imposing new special conditions on ATOL holders who are renewing their licences

The CAA has announced that it is imposing new special conditions on ATOL holders who are renewing their licences this spring. The renewal process was delayed by a month due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In March, the CAA extended the deadline for ATOL renewals from the end of March to April 28.

John de Vial, ABTA’s Director of Financial Protection and Financial Services, said: “The CAA has been in a reasonably pragmatic place with licence holders.

“They are renewing the majority of licences but have been placing special conditions on holders so they have to go back to them later in the year.”

De Vial added that this delayed round of ATOL renewals had gone “reasonably well” for ABTA members.
