Start-up airline ordered to suspend sales
29 January 2012Start-up carrier JetXtra.com has been ordered by the Civil Aviation Authority to stop selling seats after the company claimed, incorrectly, that bookings would be protected by travel partner CTT Group’s ATOL.
The CAA said today that it had not yet approved an increase in the number of licensed sales CTT could make in a year so JetXtra’s bookings were not covered by its ATOL.
The carrier, launched by the founder of failed airline venture Nexus, started selling summer-only flights from Humberside Airport to Majorca and Malaga earlier this month.
