While all but essential travel has been on pause for much of the year, the UK government have announced that international travel can resume once again from May 17, and we can't wait to fly you to the places you love or have longed to explore. Under the new traffic light system, countries will be categorised into either green, amber or red-list countries - with green having the fewest restrictions and red the most.
As of 17 May, the following countries have been confirmed as “green” list countries, where travellers arriving from these destinations will not be required to self-isolate as long as a negative Covid-test is provided. Local and international travel restrictions may still apply. Please speak to our aviation experts for the latest travel advice.
