FCDO issued different advice for islands within destinations, such as Greece and Spain, last year rather than just blanket advice covering an entire country.
Abta and Airlines UK have written to FCDO minister Nigel Adams stressing that it is “critically important” to reinstate the islands advice for this summer.
They highlighted the difference in Covid-19 infection rates often seen between islands and their mainlands in some countries. For example, this led to the FCDO advice against non-essential travel being lifted to the Canary islands while remaining in place for mainland Spain at times last year.
