World News – UK – Latest flight and vacation updates for Jet2, easyJet, TUI and Ryanair

He confirmed that non-essential international travel will not be available until Jan. May – at the earliest point in time – at which a review will take place

He said he would “consider resuming international travel, which is vital for many of the businesses hardest hit, including retail, hospitality, tourism and aviation”

In reality, its announcement can be made in two ways Until the 17th May there was another delay and cancellation of hundreds of flights and holidays, or the government’s optimism and hope to allow summer vacation

The news could also be received in two ways for tour operators and airlines, which saw mixed response to the announcement
