The latest TUI update stated: "We won’t take any customers to Red destinations or those which require quarantine on arrival, unless this can be foregone by a Covid test.

"If we need to cancel holidays because of updated Government guidance, or after reviewing our holiday programme, we will contact customers and aim to give at least seven days advance notice.

"These customers can request a full cash refund, or to change to a later date or alternative holiday with a booking incentive. We know some customers may be unsure about travelling this summer, so to offer continued flexibility and reassurance, fee-free changes can be made up to 14 days before travel for customers due to depart up to and including October 31.

"Please check our flying programme for more information for the most up to date information on departures from UK airports we’re flying from."
