CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) and ATOL (Air Travel Organiser’s Licence)

Africa Sky is fully ATOL bonded with the CAA (ATOL Number 9759).

The CAA is the UK's aviation regulator overseeing air safety, airspace regulation and consumer protection through the management of the Air Travel Organisers' Licensing (ATOL) scheme. All air tour and holiday operators in the UK are required by law to hold an ATOL licence which requires the deposit of a substantial financial bond with the CAA. ATOL prevents you losing money or being stranded abroad should there be problems with your tour provider by refunding any monies paid or arranging for those already abroad to finish their holiday and fly home.

ATTA is not a regulatory authority and has no legal sanction over the operational practices of its members. However, it does encourage and promote best practice amongst members through regular forums, seminars and exhibitions.
