Over 600 days since the US closed its borders, we're returning to New York with a plane full of very excited passengers 🇺🇸 We're thrilled to have worked with @British_Airways on a historic dual take off to mark the occasion ❤️💙 #BritsAreBack 📷 : @speedbird_uk

If we did that 100 times, I’m not sure we could have got that any closer.

Ben Gilkes and Cristina Paiva, a couple who were separated by Covid, got engaged today at Gatwick as the airport marked the first day of relaxed quarantine measures.

Are the UK's travel rules becoming too confusing? People who were fully vaccinated in the US or European Union will no longer have to isolate when arriving in the UK from an amber list country. @NickDixonITV

From today fully vaccinated passengers from the EU and US can enter England, Scotland and Wales without the need to quarantine. Good news for the travel industry but airline bosses want more countries on the UK’s green list ✈️

Great to see so many MPs and Peers, led by All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Future of Aviation Chair @HenrySmithUK, calling on the Chancellor to extend furlough beyond September 2021 for the aviation, travel and tourism sectors.

In a letter to the Chancellor, 77 MPs and peers warned the industry is facing a 'cliff edge' at the end of September as the furlough scheme will finish but travel restrictions will continue in the UK.

While we wait for the safe restart to international travel, each day the aviation sector remains grounded, risking jobs across the UK. It's time we reaped the benefits of the UK’s vaccination programme by getting aviation moving again. #traveldayofaction #saveaviation #Heathrow

Great to join you all. We thank you for all your support in such a critical restart for the economy, whilst we protect health and vaccine dividends too.
Excellent All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Future of Aviation meeting this morning with presentations from @HeathrowAirport, @TUIUK and @edge_health_. Thank you to our chair @HenrySmithUK and all the Parliamentarians who joined us to discuss the international travel restart.
