Laying out a roadmap for the reopening of the English economy earlier this week, Boris Johnson was able to offer the travel industry the first real good news it had heard it nearly a year.
The global travel taskforce would reconvene to examine how to reopen the sector, the prime minister revealed, with a report due on April 12th.
Currently, the government hopes international travel can fully resume in mid-May, clearing the way for a well-earned summer break for millions.
However, the timeframe remains flexible, with a slowdown in vaccinations, an increase in infections or the arrival of a new variant of Covid-19 just some of the reasons for a possible delay.
