Ryanair, EasyJet and Jet2 are flying to these places from Manchester Airport in July

The chances of a summer holiday this year hasn't looked all too promising but there has been glimmers of hope.

During a television interview last week, health secretary Matt Hancock said he 'wouldn't rule out' the possibility of people being able to go away in July.

This is also comes as popular destinations for British holidaymakers begin to take steps to welcoming back foreign visitors into their countries.

However, it is important to recognise that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO)is still urging the public not to travel abroad.

And from June 8, there will also be a quarantine programme in place at UK airports which means international travellers coming into the UK will have to tell border officials where they will self-isolate for 14 days or face quarantining in government-arranged accommodation.

But, the majority of airlines are set to restart its flight programmes from next month, including Ryanair, EasyJet and Jet2.

Ryanair

Ryanair announced its intention to restart 40% of its normal flight schedule last month and said it will be offering daily flights from countries all over northern Europe as well as to key holiday airports.

The airline's CEO Eddie Wilson said: "All Ryanair flights will operate with new health guidelines in place, which will require all passengers (and Ryanair crews) to wear face masks at all times in the airport terminals and on board our aircraft, in compliance with EU guidelines.

"We look forward to welcoming millions of Ryanair passengers and their families back on board, and flying them on holiday as Europe’s economies begin to recover from these difficult recent lockdowns, which have been so successful in reversing the spread of the Covid-19 virus."
