...does the ATOL requirement not apply to the seller (Thomas Cook as a UK based company), rather than the customer? (Genuine question).
"ATOL protection applies to most air trips abroad that are booked with UK based travel companies. If you are covered by ATOL, you should have been given you an ATOL Certificate when you booked."
Both UK and European law require protection, and I can't see a company wanting to double up on such provision, unless, of course, sales were through a subsidiary legally based elsewhere.
I suspect ATOL will be liable for the full number (though, of course, the UK Government could decide to limit any shortfall to cover repatriation of only UK citizens).
