British Airways and Virgin Atlantic have joined the legal challenge against the way the government is using the new traffic light system for international travel.

Virgin Atlantic has struck another deal for sustainable aviation fuel

The call for a judicial review over the system’s “lack of transparency” is being led by Manchester Airports Group (MAG) and is also backed by low-cost carrier Ryanair.

Court papers officially filed on Thursday (17 June), and seen by the Daily Telegraph, show Virgin Atlantic and BA are also “interested parties”, alongside MAG and Ryanair.
