The numbers of holidaymakers flying out of UK airports on charter flights, many of who are covered with holiday insurance policies, reached its lowest level for 20 years in 2005, according to new figures from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). A total of 13.4 per cent of UK air passengers, many of whom will have taken out holiday insurance, flew on a UK charter flight in 2005, a decrease of two million passengers from 2004.
However, the number of passengers travelling out of UK airports on scheduled airlines was up 7.3 million from the previous year, a total of 50 per cent which is its highest level for 20 years.
Overall, the number of travellers passing through UK airports in 2005 rose by six per cent from the previous year, with a total of 299 million airline passengers, many with holiday insurance policies, passed through the nation's airports.
The CAA, which was set up by parliament in 1972, provides air traffic services and operates as an independent specialist aviation regulator, receiving its funding from those whom it regulates.
