âWith so few countries making it on to the green list, [this] represents a reopening of air travel in name only,â Airlines UKâs chief executive, Tim Alderslade, said. âBy contrast, the EU has said vaccinated people will be able to travel without restrictions, which leaves the UK at risk of falling behind and not opening up international travel to key markets across Europe as well as the United States.â
The chief executive of easyJet Holidays, Garry Wilson, said it was âvery disappointingâ that so few countries had been included on the green list. Wilson said he believed destinations including the Greek Islands, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands met the criteria for inclusion on the green list and should be added.
