– Scottish Parliament written question – answered at on 25 September 2008.
Question S3W-16379
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will make representations to the UK Government regarding the compensation being made available to Scottish passengers left stranded or financially out of pocket as a result of XL ceasing trading, in light of any impact on financial inclusion in Scotland.
We have made no representations to the UK Government on this matter. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing Scheme is a well established scheme for the protection of package holiday-makers if their tour operator or airline becomes insolvent. Other holiday-makers who pay through credit cards have some protection, while some travel insurance policies also provide airline insolvency protection. We acknowledge the efforts by the CAA to repatriate those XL passengers who were stranded as a result of the company’s insolvency.
