Mixed reaction to business traveller quarantine exemption

A quarantine exemption for "high-value business travellers" is a step in the right direction, but is unlikely – yet – to give TMCs great cause for celebration.

The CAA has issued more than 600 fines to airlines for failing to ensure passengers have the correct Covid paperwork

That was the message to transport secretary Grant Shapps from the business travel sector, with the exemption only likely in its infancy to apply to those cutting substantial deals.


Government guidance states the exemption applies to individuals undertaking business activity "which would deliver a significant benefit to the UK economy".
