LONDON: Britain is considering easing travel restrictions for double vaccinated people, a move which would placate airlines who are threatening legal action against the government’s strict curbs on trips abroad. Pressure is building in the aviation industry, with airlines desperate for restrictions to be relaxed in time for July and the peak season when they make most of their profits, but Britain sticking to quarantine requirements which deter travel.
Europe’s biggest airline Ryanair is set to file papers on Thursday to launch legal action against Britain over its travel policy.
However, Britain has now indicated that a relaxation could be on the cards.
The country’s Department for Transport said on Thursday that it was considering how vaccinations could be used for inbound travel.
