London-based travel company Ickenham Travel Group has ceased trading as an ATOL holder.
The Civil Aviation Authority said the group, which traded under the names Abu Dhabi Holidays, Ras Al Khaimah Holidays, Letsgo2 and had several websites, including rasalkhaimahholidays.com, abudhabiholidays.co.uk, justallinclusive.com and letsgo2.com, ceased trading as a licence holder on 20 November.
The original Ickenham Travel was founded in 1970, as a single shop on Ickenham High Street, then expanded into Hillingdon, Northwood, Harrow and Rickmansworth, selling both business and leisure travel.
The CAA told customers currently overseas that their return flight remains valid and they should check in with their airline ‘as per the existing flight ticket’.
“The CAA is speaking to the service providers for the other elements of your trip to ensure these continue as planned,” it added.
It issued the following advice for people with ATOL protected packages due to travel after 20 November:
“If you have an ATOL flight inclusive package booking and have been issued with flight tickets, the flights may be valid for travel, and you are advised to check with the airline.
“If the airline confirms you have a valid ticket for travel, you may have the option to travel.
“However, other services may not have been paid to the local suppliers, and you will be required to re-arrange and pay for these services again. To avoid any issues in resort, you should confirm the cost of all the services in advance of travel where possible.”
