As posted on Travel Weekly by the CAA:
The CAA has published a list of European travel firms selling flight-inclusive or package holidays in the UK without Atol protection.
Travel firms based in Europe, but not in the UK, can offer packages for sale in Britain without an Atol so long as they provide consumer financial protection in compliance with the regime in the country of their location.
However, the CAA notes on its website: “Not all countries operate comprehensive protection schemes and in some cases financial protection will be more limited than Atol.”
It lists the following companies as “Firms that do not hold an Atol”:
Airtickets, eDreams, Flightengine, Lowcostholidays and Travel24.
