The Business Travel Association (BTA) has used a meeting with new aviation minister Robert Courts to push for corporate travel to be made exempt from the current quarantine restrictions.

BTA hosted its second All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) session on business travel this week when members were able to ask Courts questions about quarantine, testing and financial support for the corporate travel sector.

Clive Wratten, BTA’s chief executive, also had a personal meeting with Courts when he pushed for the quarantine exemption for the business travel sector.

“I asked him to continue to consider business travel to be an exemption from quarantine and he agreed to look into it and keep the communication lines open,” said Wratten.
