Heapy, chief executive of the package operator and its sister airline Jet2.com, welcomed the emptying of the red list on Tuesday (14 December) but slammed the “disproportionate and excessive” restrictions still in place for over the Christmas holidays.
South Africa and 10 other African nations added to the red list late last month were removed from 4am on Wednesday (15 December), although ministers previously reintroduced more stringent testing measures - including pre-departure testing and Day 2 testing.
