Airlines across Europe have again witnessed a decline in passenger turnout after the UK government reinforced quarantine rules for travelers from France.
There have also been serious concerns that tourism recovery could suffer a blow due to the spread of the new variants of the coronavirus.
The reports have it that passengers' numbers dropped by an average of 6.5 percent for every airline on Monday. It was gathered that the decline was triggered by the British government’s decision on Friday to continue requiring fully vaccinated arrivals from France to isolate in the UK.
From Monday, vaccinated U.K. citizens returning from amber nations are no longer required to quarantine. The Amber Plus rule drew an angry response from tourism bodies and airlines, with International Air Transport Association Director General Willie Walsh saying the U.K. “has no coherent policy on international travel.”
According to Willie Walsh, it's likely to stop visitors traveling to France concerning the spread of COVID-19 to other amber-list locations that are fully vaccinated except for double-jabbed visitors looking forward to the arrival of thousands of Britons to help restore summer earrings.
Earlier last week Britain had switched its position on another major holiday market, Spain’s Balearic Islands, moving them back to the amber status from green amid concern about a flow in the Delta variant of COVID-19 in resorts with younger people who may not have been vaccinated.
