Tour operator and airline Jet2 has welcomed the latest easing of Covid travel restrictions to Jersey after the publication of updated requirements for trips to the island.
New guidelines stress there is no need for holidaymakers to have proof of a negative PCR test before leaving the UK or for them to quarantine on return.
Jet2.com and Jet2holidays has significantly expanded its flights and holidays programmes to Jersey, meaning the companies will operate to the Channel Island from six UK bases this summer.
With up to 11 weekly flights departing from the UK to Jersey throughout the summer months, the latest update from the Government of Jersey comes at the perfect time to give customers all the assurance they need.
Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “The Government of Jersey should be commended for taking a leadership position and providing simple, clear travel advice for customers.
"As well as making this advice accessible and not a mass of confusion, the Government of Jersey has demonstrated a strong commitment to reopening travel properly, with an approach that is based on data around vaccination and infection rates.
"We know our customers will welcome this advice and we look forward to other Governments following this approach of clear, easy-to-understand travel advice which is based on data.
"With flights and holidays on sale to Jersey from six of our UK bases this summer, we know there will be very strong demand on the back of this update. We very much look forward to taking customers on their well-deserved holidays to Jersey this summer and cannot wait to get going.”
