Proposal to amend ATOL Standard Term 5

Closes 7 Feb 2025

Additional data requirements - Questions for ATOL holders with an ATOL limit equal to, or in excess of £20 million

Appendix B sets out the specific items of booking data that the CAA is seeking to be included in the proposed requirement. Under the proposal ATOL holders with an ATOL limit equal to, or in excess of £20 million will be required to record and maintain this booking data and provide it to the CAA upon request. It also sets out the format required and the ‘data rules’ that must be adhered to.

8. Do you already store the booking data items set out in the CAP document in Appendix B on your booking system?
9. If you responded with MOSTLY or NO, what percentage of the booking data items do you hold?
10. If the CAA submits a request to you for the booking data items set out in the CAP, how long would it take to provide this data to the CAA in the format requested?
11. Would you be able to comply with .txt file format? This is the favoured method for the CAA as data can be transferred automatically.
12. Are you able to provide the data in .xlsx excel format ?

All relevant data per passenger would need to be on one spreadsheet, in separate tabs.

13. Would your current system require upgrading to be able to record, maintain and report on the booking data in the format set out in the CAP?
14. Would there be ongoing/annual costs to ensure your system can record, maintain and report on this data?
15. Can you envisage any benefits this change in policy could bring to your business and can this be benefit be quantified?
