THE owners of Stansted Airport say more needs to be done to give holidaymakers the confidence to book trips abroad. Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said for the first time in many months he was not advising against booking foreign trips and people can start to think about booking overseas summer holidays. He announced a framework for the resumption of overseas leisure travel yesterday, which included requiring all arrivals to take pre-departure and post-arrival coronavirus tests. Post-arrival PCR tests would cost about £120, he said. But that led to a furious backlash from the travel industry, which wants travellers returning from low-risk countries to be allowed to take lateral flow tests, which are cheaper and quicker.

As the government outlines its plans to reopen international travel, Stansted Airport has said we are going backwards on Covid-19 measures.
Manchester Airports Group (MAG) - which runs the Essex airport - called the government s plan to test holidaymakers for coronavirus before and after they fly hugely disappointing .
A MAG spokesman said: “Government needs to publish which countries will be in the green, amber and red categories of the ‘traffic light’ system at the earliest opportunity and confirm Manchester Airports Group (MAG) - which runs Stansted - that travel can resume from May 17.
