The Civil Aviation (Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing) (Amendment) Regulations 2018
These Regulations amend the Civil Aviation (Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing) Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/1017) (“the principal Regulations”) and the Civil Aviation (Contributions to the Air Travel Trust) Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/2999). In part these Regulations give effect to Directive (EU) 2015/2302 on package travel and linked travel arrangements (“the Package Travel Directive”). The main changes introduced by these Regulations are the alignment of the definition of package and associated definitions with those used in the Package Travel Directive, removal of the separate Flight-Plus category and the widening of the scope of the ATOL Scheme to extend, in certain circumstances, to the activities of UK established businesses within the EEA, of those who procure flight accommodation on behalf of a consumer, and of other intermediaries.
