AIR PASSENGER financial protection is to be further investigated by the CAA following the Government's announcement in September that it would undertake a detailed analysis of the advice submitted to it by the authority in July. The analysis, carried out jointly by the Department for Transport and the CAA, had shown that there are more options which could be considered. With this latest move the Government says it will be building on the work that has already been done with industry and consumer groups. It points out that as well as assessing the proposal, the Department has been working with airlines to put in place measures to improve the information provided to people who book flights, particularly over the Internet.
