Summer holiday hopes to lift as Portugal ends UK flight ban

Portugal’s ban on flights from the UK came to an end today, giving further encouragement to those hoping for a foreign summer holiday this year. 

While holidays abroad are prohibited until at least May 17, Portugal will be on the Government’s ‘green list’. Johan Lundgren, the chief executive of EasyJet, believes that most of Europe will be open to British travellers when restrictions are eased.
