People sit amongst socially distanced seating signs at Heathrow Airport in London, Britain, May 10, 2020.

A British industry group has called on the UK government to do more to help the aviation industry as it is now struggling to restart due to quarantine rules. The government should scrap its quarantine regime, provide relief from business rates, extend a job retention scheme, directly fund the sector regulator and suspend air passenger taxes to help save jobs, the AOA said in"These jobs figures clearly show that a key component of the UK’s infrastructure is on its knees, with no relief to the current crisis expected," said AOA chief executive Karen Dee.
