Submit your passenger numbers

Licence holders should report their monthly, quarterly and annual passenger numbers online via the ATOL Portal. This means you will no longer be able to log in directly to the existing APC web page.

To submit your APC return please log in to the ATOL Portal, select ‘Manage existing ATOL’ and navigate to the relevant administration page of the required ATOL and select APC Return. A quick reference guide on how to submit your APC return can be found below.

How to submit your APC return via the ATOL Portal

APC Payment

Every licence holder has a statutory duty to pay the APC within six weeks of the end of each reporting period.

Direct debit payment

The CAA’s preferred method for collection of your APC will be by Direct Debit, where your payments will be collected automatically upon submission of your returns.

Please complete the Direct Debit mandate and send it to the address provided.

Monthly reporting

Licence holders and licence holder groups with an authorised licensable turnover of £5 million or more are required to provide monthly reports to the CAA. 

Licence holders and licence holder groups who sell ATOL to ATOL seats, will still need to submit quarterly paper reports for their ATOL to ATOL passenger numbers, in addition to the monthly reports.

Licence Holders up to £5 million licensable turnover

Quarterly reporting

Licence holders and licence holder groups within an authorised licensable turnover of less than £5 million are required to submit quarterly reports detailing the passenger numbers and revenue based on departure date. 

Small Business Licence Holders (SBA)

Annual Reporting

SBA's are companies authorised to carry no more than 500 passengers per year and are required to submit Annual returns at each renewal.
