Airlines are desperate for restrictions to be relaxed in time for July and the peak season when they make most profits, while Britain has for now stuck to quarantine rules that deter travel.
But Britain has indicated a possible relaxation, with the Department for Transport saying on Thursday it was considering how vaccinations could be used for inbound travel. "We have commenced work to consider the role of vaccinations in shaping a different set of health and testing measures for inbound travel," a government spokesperson said on Thursday.
"From the point of view of sentiment that they're saying they're going to look at this, that is good news," he said.Ryanair and other airlines have repeatedly called on the government to allow vaccinated travelers to avoid quarantine, as well as urging an easing of restrictions to some lower risk countries like Malta and Spanish and Greek islands.
The safe list of 'green' destinations is due to be updated on June 24 and the government said in April it would review travel policy before the end of June.
