CAA warns travel agents of ski specialist’s failure
Agents have been advised by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to hold on to any money for bookings with ski specialist Harris Holidays, as it has ceased trading
The company was based in Southampton in the UK and held Atol 6624, traded under the names Mountainweekends.com, Ski Weekends, Skiweekends.com, SkiWeeks.co.uk and snow-academy.com. It also operated the website international-academy.com.
The CAA said: “If you are a travel agent of Harris Holidays Ltd and you are currently holding consumer payments which you have not yet paid to Harris Holidays Ltd, you are advised not to refund consumers with these funds until you have received instructions from the Air Travel Trust. Travel agents will be individually contacted by the CAA with specific instructions for these bookings.”
The CAA said it would publish a specific claim form shortly. It added: “Please do not use claim forms from other failures as these cannot be accepted.”
