ATOL Franchises – Frequently Asked Questions

The Franchise ATOL is a type of Air Travel Organiser’s Licence (ATOL) granted by the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). 

The CAA can grant you an ATOL based on your membership in a Franchise operating under the ATOL scheme. Current ATOL franchise schemes, such as ABTOT’s ATOL Franchise, provide alternative financial criteria and financial security for an ATOL licence to the CAA SBA and Standard bond. 

Web users often use various search terms to find information about ATOL franchises, including:

• Travel organiser ATOL bonding provider 
• Holiday agent ATOL bond supplier
• Travel operator ATOL bonds comparison

Travel businesses such as travel agents, tour operators, and holiday providers can apply to have an ATOL Franchise. However, they must meet ABTOT’s financial and eligibility criteria, which are set by the CAA.
