In a stinging attack on Boris Johnson’s government, May said the UK didn’t take advantage of its swift and successful vaccination programme to get travel up and running again promptly.
Speaking at the WTTC’s Global Summit on Tuesday (29 November), May said the government’s "failure to act" to protect the travel industry resulted in devastating consequences for a "critical sector" that risked "decimating" the aviation sector.
Addressing delegates directly, May said: "The world recognises your industry has gone through a difficult time – you bore the brunt of Covid."
