The UK travel association Abta has accused the transport secretary, Grant Shapps, of failing to “bat for his sector”, being too slow to provide support and create an airport Covid-19 testing regime.
Abta said thousands more jobs were at risk when the furlough scheme ends, while government policies on quarantine because of coronavirus were deterring travel.
