The question is NOT where and which country in Europe the British public will be able to fly to in the near future, since most if not all countries in Europe will accept passengers from the UK. On arrival of course they need to go to their accommodation for at least two weeks and stay put and only allowed to go out to buy food or medicines. The aforementioned would not add up to a normally acceptable holiday experience, hence the cancellation of holiday flights and the repatriation of passengers in resorts.
The future package holiday business may well be a complete disaster for the next year or so, due to the present policy measures suggested by the Boris Johnson government, that the best measures for the country to overcome the Covid 19 virus is for the main part of the population in the UK to become infected, thus we would have “herd immunity”!!!
If the above policy is finally confirmed, then there will be Coronavirus Type Covid 19 infection in the UK for the next year or so, which will mean that every country in the world will be closing their borders with the UK and there will be NO flights or holidays from the UK to anywhere in the world probably not even to the Isle of Man.
The “herd immunity” policy will kill thousands in the UK and mostly the old, the weak and the unwell. It will also bring the UK down to its knees financially. For any business to survive, it would be a miracle.
So let us look towards our own situation here at home in the UK and let us hope that the Government comes to their senses and locks down the country like the Chinese and most, if not all, European countries for the next few weeks. It is after all the only proven way of controlling the Virus before it takes over control of the country as a whole.
