The CAA said 510 of the potential 1,127 travel companies - just over 45% - were yet to apply to renew their Atol. It urged the remainder to submit renewal applications “well before” 30 September to avoid a delay to processing.
More than a quarter of applicants in March 2021 applied in the last 10 days leading up to the renewal deadline, the CAA said, adding this “created challenges for both the travel company and Civil Aviation Authority”.
