"We need to see the detail of what they are proposing. Public health must of course be the priority and we will continue to be guided by Sage advice," the group said in a statement emailed to NPR, noting that support measures will be necessary to ensure"that we still have a UK aviation sector once the quarantine period is lifted."

The prime minister's office declined to comment, suggesting that details about the situation will be addressed in Boris Johnson's speech Sunday evening.
