What is an ATOL Certificate?

ATOL (Air Travel Organiser’s Licence) is a UK financial protection scheme managed by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Our ATOL number is 12798.

ATOL protects you from losing your money or being stranded abroad in the unlikely event that BMB Holidays or one of our travel suppliers ceases trading. All flight-inclusive holidays booked with us are financially protected, and you will receive an official ATOL Certificate as soon as your booking is confirmed.
