ATOL reforms to start on 30 April

Sunday, 09 Feb, 2012 0

The Department of Transport has confirmed changes to the ATOL system will come into effect on 30 April.

Aviation minister Theresa Villiers made the long awaited announcement today which means "Flight-Plus" holidays sold by tour operators and travel agents will now be included in the ATOL scheme.

These are holidays that look like package holidays but are sold in a way which currently falls outside the scheme.

Passengers will be given a standard, recognised certificate at the point of purchase, so they know whether their trip is protected by the ATOL scheme or not.
