Airlines, holiday companies ramp up pressure on Britain to ease travel rules | Malay Mail

LONDON, June 20 — Britain’s airlines and holiday companies are planning a “day of action” on Wednesday to ramp up pressure on the government to ease travel restrictions, with just weeks to go before the start of the peak summer season.

As the clock ticks down to July, Europe’s biggest airline Ryanair and Manchester Airports Group on Thursday launched legal action to try to get the government to ease the rules before the industry’s most profitable season starts. Britain’s aviation industry has been harder hit by the pandemic than its European peers, according to data published by pilots trade union BALPA on Sunday.

UK airports were also badly affected, with traffic in and out of London’s second busiest airport Gatwick down 92 per cent, according to the data.“There is no time to hide behind task forces and reviews,” said BALPA general secretary Brian Strutton.
