General Enquiries

The CAA are happy to answer any enquires or supply information, however, we would ask that before submitting an enquiry or a request for information you check if the information you require is already available on our website by using the Search Facility.

If you would like to contact a specific department at the CAA please use this link to find the most relevant area to answer your enquiry.

Please note that the CAA's enquiry team is unable to assist with ATOL enquiries or claims following the failure of ATOL holders, or Flight Crew Licensing and Medical enquiries.  Direct email addresses for those departments are available on this page:

If your enquiry is passenger safety related or of a general nature, please email us at infoservices@caa.co.uk.
