Travel operators are laying on extra flights and calling for the Government to put more countries on the quarantine-free green travel list to cope with pent-up demand for holidays.
Industry chiefs have criticised the “'overly cautious” approach of ministers in only approving 12 destinations so far.
Portugal, Gibraltar and Israel are among the small group of countries which will be on the green list from May 17, with these three, as well as Iceland, allowing Britons in without the need to quarantine.
