Passengers can now travel with Turkish airline to the UK after the decision of the UK government to remove Turkey from its Red list starting from Wednesday, 22 September.
Reports have it that the removal of Turkey from the Red list comes before the UK government introduces a new system in October. Also moved from Red to the Amber list are: Pakistan, the Maldives, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Oman, Bangladesh and Kenya.
Unvaccinated passengers have to take a test within three days before their flight and take the 2nd and 8th-day PCR test after arrival. Passengers also have to self quarantine for ten days except they make special arrangement to shorten their isolation period.
The UK health and social care secretary, Sajid Javid, said “We have simplified the travel rules to make them easier to understand and follow, opening up tourism and reducing the costs to go abroad.”
“As global vaccination efforts continue to accelerate and more people gain protection from this dreadful disease, it is right that our rules and regulations keep pace.”
“From late October, we will also be making changes to allow passengers who change flights or international trains during their journey to follow the measures associated with their country of departure, rather than any countries they have transited through as part of their journey,” Javid says.
