The Sunday Times claimed contingency plans were being drawn up by the government ahead of the increasing likelihood of a no-deal Brexit.
The paper claims the advice was due to be discussed at last week’s cancelled cabinet meeting amid fears a Brexit bookings slump could cause a series of collapses among travel companies.
However, an Abta spokesperson said: “Number 10 has said that the content of the report in the Sunday Times is categorically untrue. The European Commission has said that even in a no-deal scenario, flights will still operate between the UK and EU, and a visa is not required.
