The need for costly PCR Covid tests when international travel resumes has been widely condemned from all sides of the travel industry.
The edict by the government’s Global Travel Taskforce was criticised as a “hammer blow” for business travel while independent agents and operators joined easyJet in hitting out at the costs involved for holidaymakers.
EasyJet, Aito and the Business Travel Association led the attack on the requirements as part of a traffic light system to be used to categorise countries based on risk, as previously announced.
Travellers will need to pay for tests when leaving and returning to the UK with the government yet to confirm that overseas travel can resume from May 17.
