Memberships and Regulatory Compliance

New Zealand Sky protects your financial interests and your holiday through membership of professional trade bodies and organisations and full adherence to published codes of best conduct and practice.

CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) and ATOL (Air Travel Organiser's Licence)

New Zealand Sky is fully ATOL bonded with the CAA (ATOL Number 9759).

The CAA is the UK's aviation regulator with specific responsibilities that include air safety, airspace regulation and consumer protection through the management of the Air Travel Organisers' Licensing (ATOL) scheme.

All air tour and holiday operators in the UK are required by law to hold an ATOL licence which demands that the operator deposit a substantial financial bond with the CAA. ATOL protects you from losing money or being stranded abroad in the event of any problems with the tour provider by refunding any monies paid or arranging for people abroad to finish their holiday and fly home.
