What is APC (ATOL Protection Contribution)?
ATOL Protection Contribution (APC) is a per person payment which ATOL holders must make to a protection fund called the Air Travel Trust (ATT), which is managed by the CAA. The money in this fund is available to safeguard customers of a failed ATOL holder and where appropriate, provide refunds to those unable to take their holiday due to the ATOL holder failing. Some ATOL holders will put information about APC in their brochures, websites and on their ATOL Confirmation Invoices explaining that a small amount of the total cost of the air holiday package or flights being sold is contributed to the ATT for ATOL protection.
