Travel firms get a much-needed boost that started over the weekend as thousands of vaccinated Britons head to continental Europe for the midterm school break, starting what could be a bumper year for travel as coronavirus concerns ease.
Demand has been fuelled by the easing of travel curbs as the Omicron variant of Covid-19 passes its peak. The UK scrapped testing for fully vaccinated passengers starting on Friday. The tourism boost will be especially welcome after the new outbreak starved beleaguered airlines and travel companies of revenue over the Christmas and New Year holiday.
Friday was due be the busiest day, with more than 16,000 people booked, most of them outbound from the UK. While that’s 1,000 shy of October’s school holiday, it’s “almost more impressive” since people headed to France must now take a pre-departure test, a spokesperson said. There are six times the number of international flights from the UK than in the 2021 half-term holiday, but frequencies remain down by almost half from 2020, just before coronavirus lockdowns took effect, according to analytics firm Cirium.
