Proposal to amend ATOL Standard Term 5

Closes 7 Feb 2025

Additional data requirements - Questions for Business System’s Providers

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.

16. Does the business system that you provide to ATOL holders allow the booking data items set out in the CAP document in Appendix B to be recorded, maintained and reported on by the ATOL holder?
17. If you answered MOSTLY or NO, what percentage of data items are covered by the business system that you provide to ATOL holders?
18. Is this the case for all ATOL holders regardless of size?
19. If a data field is not easily accessible on your business system, but is data that is already gathered, what would be the associated costs to ensure this data is accessible to the ATOL holder via the business system (£)?
20. If the data field is not currently gathered, what would be the associated costs to update the system to ensure this is gathered from point of booking (£)?
21. What would be the average timescale to make the changes required for this policy change?
22. If there is a system update required for all ATOL holders, would there be an all-system upgrade available?
