Watchdog repeats doubts over tour operator’s Lapland holidays

THE State’s aviation regulator has again expressed serious reservations about the ability of a travel operator to take hundreds of children and their parents to Lapland to meet Santa Claus.

Dublin-based United Travel, prohibited from trading, is desperate to beat the odds of getting their Lapland holidays package off the ground but that looks highly unlikely.

Yesterday, the Commission for Aviation Regulation reiterated United Travel should wind up the business and refund customers in an “orderly fashion”.
