Expert Author: Daniel Scognamiglio Following last year's ruling in favour of Travel Republic at Westminster Magistrates Court, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) recently launched another criminal prosecution against the online travel agent. In 2009, it was held that Travel Republic had not breached the Civil Aviation (Air Travel Organisers' Licensing) Regulations 1995, which pertain to package holidays among other aspects of the travel industry.
