Jet2 chief Steve Heapy has called on the government to “get a move on and be brave” with its international travel policy in order to give the industry the chance of a “half-decent summer”.

Heapy, chief executive of tour operator Jet2holidays and low-cost airline Jet2.com, said he felt the summer season still had potential to be “quite promising” if the green list was expanded and plans being worked on to allow fully vaccinated Brits returning from amber countries to skip quarantine were put in place soon. 

“If we can get those two things, then the industry will have a half-decent summer,” said Heapy, speaking to TTG from Jet2’s new airport base at Bristol.
