RE: Sean Doyle: Britain must seize opportunity to reopen UK-US travel corridor16 Jun 2021 13:51
I think the back benchers from all parties will be putting the Govt under enormous pressure to do something with the travel industry and get a future re opening date. Grant Shapps will be accutely aware that Summer holidays are when the airlines make most of their profits. I still think we may open up before end of the four weeks and if not intl travel either way from 19th July to coincide with school summer holidays. Its not just us of course we need other countries to accept us, so need to have big increase in those vaccinated with 2nd jabs. If the airline industry and hospitality isn't opening up, thousands more jobs lost, the Govt will be under pressure to extend furlough beyond Sept which they won't want to do. People have had enough, I think markets realise this also and think there will be some sort of holidays abroad even if just for August, hence SP not dropping too much and around mid 190s. I remain invested, this final lockdown will be the last!!
