ATOL

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much was paid into the Civil Aviation Authority administered ATOL scheme by UK airlines in (a) 2016, (b) 2017 and (c) 2018.

Answer

Airlines do not pay into the Air Travel Trust Fund. The ATT is principally funded by ATOL Protection Contributions (APC). The Civil Aviation (Contributions to the Air Travel Trust) Regulations 2007 enable the ATT to collect APCs from ATOL Holders for each person who books air travel covered by an ATOL. The Air Travel Trust Fund accounts are publicly available online.
