Jet2 Spain holiday update as passengers advised to arrive at airport 'as normal'

Jet2 have provided an update to passengers after the government ruled Scots returning home from Spain must quarantine for two weeks.

The move, implemented by both the UK and Scottish Governments, follows a recent spike in coronavirus cases across Spain.

TUI have already announced all their flights to the Spanish mainland have been cancelled.

As it stands, Jet2 flights will operate 'as normal', however the airline admits it will be monitoring the situation 'very closely'.

A spokesperson for the holiday company told Glasgow Live: "Following the latest government advice regarding travel to the UK from Spain, we are advising customers to arrive for their flights as normal as we are continuing to operate our scheduled programme to and from Mainland Spain, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands.

"We are still operating flights and holidays to four destinations in Mainland Spain (Costa de Almeria, Alicante, Malaga and Murcia), which are open and are located away from areas which have been impacted by increased cases of Covid-19. In light of the updated advice from the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), we are in the process of reviewing options for customers due to travel to these four destinations.

"We are also continuing to operate flights and holidays to our destinations in the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands as scheduled. Because the FCO travel advice to these destinations remains unchanged, our usual terms and conditions apply. As always, we advise customers to purchase appropriate travel insurance before travelling.

"This is a fast-moving situation, which we will continue to monitor very closely."

Nicola Sturgeon has urged Scots to exercise caution over non essential foreign travel, warning: "Having reviewed the latest data earlier today, @scotgov is also reimposing 14 day quarantine for travellers returning from Spain.

"This reinforces the point that these matters are subject to change at short notice and so my advice is to be cautious about non essential foreign travel."
