Essential that Global Travel Taskforce introduce risk based approach

Commenting on the media reports that restrictions on international travel could last until June, Henry Smith MP, Chair of the APPG for the Future of Aviation said:

“Our aviation, travel and tourism industries have been amongst the hardest hit by COVID-19 and they desperately need a roadmap out of the restrictions as well as clear criteria on how and when they can restart. 

“The Prime Minister’s inclusion of international travel in his roadmap out of lockdown brought hope to these embattled industries and extreme measures like this only sow confusion and risk further damaging an industry already on its knees. 

“It is essential that the Global Travel Taskforce bring forward a risk based framework that allows international travel to resume safely as soon as possible. We cannot afford another false dawn which risks the very future of our world class aviation sector.”
