The call came after transport secretary Grant Shapps confirmed passenger locator forms and all travel testing requirements will be "stood down" on Friday (18 March).
Balpa general secretary Martin Chalk said the industry "must ensure" it can "effectively compete" and regain the competitive ground lost to European competitors as a result of the UK government’s "stringent and harmful approach".
"The aviation industry has been through the worst crisis it has ever faced, yet it will underpin the much-needed economic recovery that Global Britain needs," he added.
"Balpa pilots look forward to taking Grant Shapps on his next trip and in the meantime, call for the government to publish its recovery plan for the sector urgently."
