Nottingham Travel (uk) Ltd

What Nottingham Travel (uk) Ltd does

Nottingham Travel (UK) Ltd is a privately-held UK travel agency operating from its Nottingham head office at 161 Radford Road and a branch in Bradford. The company runs an integrated online travel booking platform that aggregates flight, hotel, package holiday, cruise and European train inventory sourced from over 40 major airline partners via GDS access through its IATA membership (91277605). It is ATOL-licensed (number 9931) by the UK Civil Aviation Authority, allowing it to sell financially-protected flight-inclusive holidays to UK consumers.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer model, generating revenue primarily through booking commissions from airlines and hotels, plus mark-ups on ATOL-protected package holidays and Hajj & Umrah pilgrimage packages targeted at UK Muslim travellers. Distribution spans the company website, a customer service phone line (01159 78 78 99), walk-in retail at both branches, and supporting social channels (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube, email newsletter). Pricing is transaction-based with examples ranging from approximately £145 for short-haul economy flights to over £1,700 for premium-cabin long-haul, and Hajj & Umrah packages starting around £1,450. A partnership with Fly Now Pay Later introduces buy-now-pay-later instalment options to broaden addressable price points.

At a disclosed headcount of 1–10 employees, Nottingham Travel is a small independent travel agent with no institutional investors, no disclosed funding, no parent company, no M&A activity and no management team bios in the public record. Its competitive position rests on ATOL protection, IATA-credentialed GDS access, breadth of airline partnerships, and a niche Hajj/Umrah specialism that larger OTAs do not typically cultivate — but it operates at a scale well below national high-street competitors and online travel majors.
