Day two PCR tests for travellers returning to England from non-red list countries will be replaced by cheaper lateral flow tests in time for October half-term.
Abta’s director of public affairs Luke Petherbridge said it would “encourage the governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to adopt the same approach”. The three devolved governments have previously been aligning their approaches with England in recent months.
Petherbridge added overseas holidays should now be “much more accessible” following the change to lateral flow tests.
