Aito has accused the government of "sabotaging" the recovery of the UK’s outbound travel industry after formally advising consumers against booking their summer holidays at this time.
Aito is angry proposed PTR rule changes will not protect operators during airport disruption
Chair Chris Rowles described the comments, which came in a "roadmap review" issued on Monday (5 April) just a week ahead of the Global Travel Taskforce’s 12 April report, as "death by back-stabbing".
The review was published shortly after prime minister Boris Johnson pre-empted the taskforce’s report by confirming the government would introduce a traffic light system to govern the restart of international travel.
Rowles also renewed Aito’s call for sector-specific support for outbound travel.
