Membership and Protection

CAR (Commission for Aviation Regulation)

Tropical Sky Ireland is licensed as a Travel Agent (CAR License No 0664) by the Commission for Aviation Regulation.

The CAR regulates aspects of the aviation industry and is also responsible for licensing the travel trade in Ireland. As a condition of granting licences to tour operators and travel agents, the Commission insists on the deposit of a secured bond and administers a scheme to reimburse consumers in the event of commercial or other difficulties with their provider. Booking your holiday through a CAR Licenced operator means your money and your holiday are protected from the outset.
