CAA call ATOL bond as Sunscape stops trading
Report by Lydia Wilson
THE CIVIL Aviation Authority has called the Air Travel
Organisers Licence bond of Greek Islands specialist Sunscape Tours Ltd after it
ceased trading last week.
Surrey-based Sunscape, which traded as Airsun Holidays,
Airsun Travel, Sunscape Tours, Sunscape Holidays and Sunscape Travel, left 170 passengers
in Greece and 448 prospective holidaymakers facing a cancelled holiday.
The CAA called an ATOL bond of £146,370 and all 170 people are
being flown home on their original departure date. Those passengers with
forward bookings are being advised not to go to their departure airports, but
claim a refund from the CAA.
CAA deputy director David Moesli said: “All customers were
taken care of so that they had no disruption to their holidays.”
