Back to what we do
ATOL consultancy
Our expert team has 44 combined years working at the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), so have the experience and knowledge to help you apply or renew your ATOL and ensure you are getting a fair deal.
Apply for, or renew, your ATOL with expert help
Holding an Air Travel Organisers’ Licence (ATOL) is a legal requirement when you’re selling certain types of holidays in the UK. What’s more, maintaining your ATOL is vital if you want to continue selling licensable holidays.
When choosing us to help you apply or renew your licences, you’re getting:
-
Insight into obtaining an ATOL
-
An expert team with 44 years of CAA experience
-
Assurance of a fair deal for you, and your travel business.
Taking the pressure off of you and your team
Applying for, or renewing, your ATOL can be a lengthy process; it can also be complex. Dealing with regulators is our forte, freeing you up to run your travel business, and do your best work.
We’ll help you find, and collate, all the information you need for your application or renewal. Then, we’ll organise and file your application, making sure it arrives with the CAA in time.
Each licence we apply for reflects your business right now, not the business it was a couple of years ago. By reorganising and filing in this way, you’ll be in a stronger place to negotiate the best price for your licence too.
Results only 44 combined years working for the CAA would get you
Ultimately, this is about providing you with an honest and expert service so you can focus on the fun side of selling holidays. We’ll support you by:
-
Providing hands-on support in negotiating with regulators, saving your valuable management resources which you can put to better use in other functions of the business.
-
Bypassing a frustratingly slow service from key trade bodies to ensure that your application is assessed promptly, fairly, and on terms that are consistent with other similar ATOL holders.
-
Using our years of experience supporting many clients in the travel sector to provide up to date, pragmatic guidance on the best way to approach the regulators.
What clients think of our regulatory work
We’ve worked with a wide range of clients over the years, from household names to brand new start-ups.
Here are what some of them had to say about our regulatory services.
"We asked TTC to help us secure an ATOL to launch Trip.com in the UK market. Simon and the team have been fundamental in getting the licence approved. Working with them is like having an extended team member we can call on at any time."
James Spalding
Regional Director – Northern Europe & Russia at Trip.com
‘We first approached Travel Trade Consultancy for advice and assistance [in 2017], and they have been with us every day for the past seven years.. They played an essential role in dealing with regulatory matters, management accounts and, latterly as our advisors and facilitators of the sale of the company.. This proved to be invaluable..and as a bonus, they are a lovely bunch of people!’
David Holland
Director at African Pride
"Thanks to TTC for assisting us with the regulatory clearances on the deal. We’ve worked with Martin and the team for many years now and you can really rely on them to deliver when it counts. Their experience of working on lots of transactions in the travel sector helped at all stages in the process from early negotiations all the way through to closing which helped us to get the deal done and in-line with the required timeline."
