TUI and easyJet update holidaymakers after Canary Islands travel corridor change

Currently, the FCDO states: “Spain, including the Balearic Islands but excluding the Canary Islands, based on the current assessment of COVID-19 risks.”

Garry Wilson, chief executive officer at easyJet holidays, said: “This is yet more disappointing news for customers who were looking forward to a well-deserved holiday, especially so close to the festive period.

“And it’s a confusing situation as we wait to see if there will be any change to FCDO advice alongside the travel corridor lists update.

“We couldn’t leave our customers with uncertainty though, particularly where Christmas bookings are concerned, so we believe it’s the right thing to do to give our customers a choice about their holiday plans.

“This is why we’ve further flexed our industry-leading booking terms. We’re committed to doing all that we can to help our customers.

“And of course we support the need to put public safety first so we’re looking forward to seeing more detail on the Test to Release scheme when it’s announced.
