There are also provisions in place for taking rest without entering a foreign country and hence being exempt from quarantine both outbound and inbound. Those normally involve either spending the rest period on the aircraft or being chauffeured to an isolated hotel room and not allowed to leave it until the return flight.
...it's another matter whether any of these guidelines will be needed in the UK soon, maybe except for cargo...
From experience;
Stay on aircraft during turnaround - stay in aircraft foot print - no issues.
Get off the aircraft down route - trouble n strife you may have to oblige with that countries regs also
Airlines will need to negotiate with UK Gov for rules and dispensations e.g. stay in Airport Hotel
