Steve Heapy, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays chief, said the move marks a "genuine" reopening of international travel and is "more great news for holidaymakers".
"Although today’s announcement does not directly impact any of the destinations we are currently operating to, we applaud the government for the steps it is taking to reopen international travel properly," he added.
"There is still a way to go and we will continue to call for travel to be made easier, in particular around testing, but we are definitely on the right track."
