UK international travel still struggling to recover, stakeholders say

Players in the UK travel industry say international travel from the nation is yet to restart in a meaningful way despite the easing of some restrictions.
 
Trade group Airlines UK said bookings had failed to recover due to the frustrating traffic light system and costly testing requirements.
 
It added that consumer confidence would remain weak without change.
 
The comments came as Heathrow warned it expects to see a further fall in passenger numbers in 2021.
 
The airport, which was Europe's busiest before the pandemic, welcomed just four million passengers in the first six months of the year - a total that it would have taken just 18 days to reach in 2019.
