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".
