Speaking during Abta’s Travel Convention, Weiss slammed the government’s approach.
“In retrospect, anyone of us could have done things better, quicker, more decisively. One in 10 jobs rely on travel and tourism – just to think that this industry can be left to its own devices when all the constraints have been put on by the government, I think, is shortsighted.”
Weiss said airline failures were “a severe possibility” if some sort of testing regime was not introduced. He warned: “I feel that if a decision is not forthcoming now, we will lose the Christmas business and we will lose Easter.”
