ATOL Protection

When you book a holiday with Speke Travel you can rest assured that your arrangements are financially protected by both the TTA (Travel Trust Association), and, if you are a UK resident and there is a flight element within your arrangements, you are also protected by ATOL (Air Travel Organiser’s Licence) through the licence number 12075, that we hold with the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority).

You can find more information about ATOL by clicking here and summarised below.

ATOL is the UK’s financial protection scheme and protects you when you book an ATOL protected holiday with an ATOL holder. It will provide support so that you are not at a financial loss or without assistance abroad if your ATOL holder ceases trading.

ATOL stands for Air Travel Organiser’s Licence and is backed by the UK Government.

ATOL was first introduced in 1973, as the popularity of overseas holidays grew. After a number of travel business failures left people stranded, the UK Government realised consumers required protection when their travel providers fell into difficulties.

The scheme was designed to cover charter flights and package holidays, and functioned well for years. However, the holiday market changed considerably and the scheme was overhauled in 2012 and again in 2018 to keep pace with these changes.

If you have any questions about ATOL, the TTA, or any element of protection that we provide please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Our certificates can be viewed on the ATOL website and also below.
