Scrapping of amber watchlist welcome but Green list extension essential
Commenting on the news that the Government have dropped plans for an amber watchlist, Henry Smith MP, Chair of the APPG for the Future of Aviation said:
“A system graded depending on risk and recognising the protection offered by vaccination is what we all hope for and what the public deserve.
“I hope that the dropping of the amber watchlist bodes well for a more pragmatic approach. I am more optimistic now than I was, but the reality is that we are already into August and there is not much of the summer travel season left. Easing restrictions now will hopefully save some jobs in the aviation industry which are under threat, particularly with furlough ending in September.”
