The chief executive of easyJet has warned that foreign holidays risk becoming the preserve of those with expendable income , as the industry eagerly awaits news on when international travel can restart

While those returning from countries rated"green" will not be required to self-isolate, coronavirus tests will still be needed before leaving and on arrival.Test results may yet fall into a so-called vaccine passport regime, which is still being considered for trips both abroad and even at home.

But he said of the planned traffic light system:"If you are categorised as a 'green country'... there should be no restrictions at all really because what I'm afraid about is that if the government are now adding cost complexity, even if you are in the 'green' bucket, that's going to make it out of reach for many families if you look at what the cost would be.

Rory Boland, Editor of Which? Travel, responded:"Testing will be essential for restarting travel safely, but private tests in the UK are currently too expensive and risk pricing most people out of travel.
