United Travel

The Commission for Aviation Regulation today issued a further statement in relation to the current status of United Travel. The Commission confirms that Manorcastle Ltd trading as United Travel applied for a new tour operator's licence on December 1. In examining that application, the Commission sought additional information and supporting documentation from Manorcastle Ltd/United Travel to enable the application to be processed. Based on the information received to date, the commission says that very serious questions remain as to the ability of Manorcastle Ltd/United Travel to fulfil its contractual obligations for overseas travel adding that the position remains, therefore, that Manorcastle Ltd/United Travel is not currently licensed to trade as a Tour Operator. The Commission reiterates its view that, under these circumstances, Manorcastle Ltd should wind up the business in an orderly fashion and refund its customers.
