“A major milestone to the reopening of travel at scale” was how the boss of Virgin Atlantic described the US announcing plans to reopen its borders to fully vaccinated UK and EU arrivals in early November.
Shai Weiss said the decision, announced on Monday (20 September) following an 18-month ban on most travel to America for non-US citizens, would allow consumers and businesses to book transatlantic travel “with confidence”.
He added how the move acknowledged the "great progress" the UK and US had made with vaccination programmes and would boost trade and tourism and reunite "friends, families and business colleagues".
