Monarch has been granted a 24-hour extension to its licence to sell package holidays. The low-cost airline and holiday company had a deadline of midnight on Saturday 30 September before its Air Travel Organiser’s Licence (Atol) expired. It is Monarch’s second such temporary extension in two years and follows a spotlight being shone on the carrier’s finances. However, we can confirm that Atol protection will remain available for eligible holiday bookings made with Monarch on Sunday. “The CAA will provide a daily update with regard to the protection that is available to Monarch’s customers.”Facebook Twitter Pinterest A Monarch flight attendant serves snacks.
