Submit your passenger numbers
Licence holders report their monthly or quarterly passenger numbers online via the ATOL Portal.
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
Licence holders have a statutory duty to pay the APC within six weeks of the end of each reporting period. The exception to this is for Small Business ATOL holders where APC Payments are dues annually, within six weeks of the date the licence expires
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.
