answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/04/2019 answer text <p>Wow Air was an airline based in Iceland operating under an Icelandic Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) and was not regulated in the UK by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). In line with previous insolvencies of non-UK regulated airlines, both the CAA and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office have issued advice for affected passengers on their websites.</p><p>Given the number of consumers affected, the CAA believes that there is sufficient capacity available in the market for passengers to make their own travel arrangements. The CAA has put in place comprehensive consumer advice to support this. The majority of passengers will be able to recover costs through their credit /debit card bookings, or from travel insurance.</p><p>The Department recognises that this is a disruptive time for passengers, and the Government’s immediate priority is to support those affected. The Government will continue to monitor the situation and work with the CAA and industry to ensure the correct advice is easily available to those UK citizens affected by the Insolvency of Wow Air.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 04/04/2019 10:57:34 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
