The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is to clamp down on the unauthorised use of the ‘ATOL protected’ logo.

Only ATOL holders will be allowed to use the ‘ATOL protected’ logo online, in brochures and in shop windows. The move is to prevent non ATOL protected travel providers displaying the ATOL logo and misleading consumers into believing their travel is covered by ATOL protection.

Each ATOL holder will be given a licence to use the ‘ATOL protected’ trademark to be used when offering ATOL protected travel.

The CAA will take action against companies in breach of the regulations.
