The CAA and the Department for Transport (DfT) have confirmed a delay to Atol reform, saying they “need more time” to ensure they get it right.

Both said they were unable to consult on final reform proposals at the end of last year as planned, blaming the delay on the “complex” work required. The CAA had planned to launch the initial phase of a revised Atol regime in April 2024. 

In September, the government said it was "fully committed" to giving the CAA civil sanction powers to enforce the new-look Atol scheme once plans to reform the system are complete.
