Addressing the ITT conference on Wednesday (15 June) Paul Smith, CAA group director consumers and markets, told delegates the CAA "wanted to return to the concept" of having verified data on Atol certificates publicly available, subject – Smith stressed – to thorough and in-depth consultation with the industry.
This work, Smith revealed, got under way prior to the pandemic, but was paused owing to the operational challenges the industry was facing. The CAA has previously operated in this way, but Smith said efforts to reform and further digitise the scheme had brought the concept back to the fore.
