LONDON, May 6 (Reuters) - The chief executive of airline
easyJet said Britain was likely to be left behind the
rest of Europe if the government does not allow quarantine-free
travel to most of the continent.
Britain will on Friday announce its "green list" of low risk
places where people can travel without needing to quarantine on
their return home, but reports suggest that just a handful of
countries will make the list, with major destinations like Spain
and Greece excluded.
"It's going to you know be very odd and ironic that actually
the UK, the most advanced when it comes to the roll out of the
vaccination programme, is actually going to find themselves left
behind," easyJet Chief Executive Johan Lundgren told the FT Live
online conference on Thursday.
"I think this is going to need to change, it's going to need
to change very rapidly."
