Agents joined colleagues from across the industry to demand urgent help for the industry before it is too late during a series of Travel Day of Action lobbies around the UK.

Hundreds turned out at Westminster to lobby government for support

Hundreds of agents, operators and airline staff descended on Westminster, Holyrood in Edinburgh and Stormont in Belfast during Travel Day of Action on Wednesday (23 June), demanding a quicker reopening of international travel and the provision of sector-specific financial support.

Martyn Sumners, executive director of Aito, said “companies will go bust” if the government doesn’t provide tailored support for the industry.
