Aito has said it is “deeply disappointed and frustrated” by new plans to reform the Package Travel Regulations (PTRs), claiming the industry has been sidelined.

Travel is a growth sector – it must tell government that story

Aito is angry proposed PTR rule changes will not protect operators during airport disruption

The government on Monday (7 April) launched a three-month consultation on proposed reform of the PTRs, spelling out its ambitions and inviting the industry to comment, although initial industry has been lukewarm.

Christina Brazier, Aito’s head of industry affairs, said: “The government has missed a key opportunity for meaningful reform, opting instead for minor tweaks that will make little difference to businesses or consumers.”
