More needed to support restart of international travel

Commenting on the announcement on the restart of international travel, Henry Smith MP, Chair of the APPG for the Future of Aviation said: 

“Today’s announcement on the restart of international travel is a welcome step in the right direction, but there remains much more that needs to be done to support our aviation, travel and tourism industries.

“Nobody is arguing for the lifting of all restrictions, but it is disappointing that the number of nations on the green list remains extremely limited and that vaccinated people will remain subject to restrictions when travelling to low risk nations. 

“Restarting international travel is about more than summer holidays, it is about reuniting families and rebuilding our economy.  Today’s announcement must be the start of a concerted and considered plan for the full restart of international travel including the removal of restrictions for low risk countries. 

“After a devastating year for our aviation, travel and tourism industry and communities we cannot afford another false start, restarting international travel is an economic imperative and a vital part of our national recovery.”
