Jet2.com and Jet2holidays boss Steve Heapy has urged the government to "take the handbrake off international travel" and allow holidaymakers to reap the benefits of the UK’s Covid-19 vaccination programme.

Heapy said it was frustrating many destinations continued to be omitted from the UK government’s green list "for no discernible reason", particularly with everyday life in the UK starting to return to normal.


His plea came as the airline and operator upped late-summer capacity for a handful of green list destinations – Malta, Madeira, Split, Dubrovnik and Jersey.
