Leaders of Britain’s major airlines and travel companies have written to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, complaining about the “haphazard and disproportionate” travel restrictions imposed after the detection of the Omicron COVID-19 variant and urging the government to help the travel industry survive the crisis.
Under restrictions introduced to slow the spread of Omicron, all travellers arriving in England are required to take a pre-departure CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus test and self-isolate until they receive a negative result from a post-arrival test.
