Three airlines have launched legal action against the British government, describing the country’s plan to quarantine most incoming travelers as “flawed.’’
British Airways, easyJet and Ryanair say in a statement Friday that the quarantine will have a “devastating effect,’’ on tourism and the wider economy.
The airlines want the government to re-adopt its previous quarantine policy, where quarantine is limited to passengers from “high risk” countries.
Quarantine measures imposed this week stipulate that all passengers - bar a handful of exceptions like truckers or medical workers - must fill in a form detailing where they will self-isolate for two weeks.
