ABTA’s response to the Transport Secretary’s statement this afternoon on travel between the UK and EU following the European Commission’s contingency planning update.

ABTA Chief Executive Mark Tanzer said:

“UK citizens take over 50 million trips a year to Europe and it is the number one place people plan to visit next year. Today both the UK Government and the European Commission reiterated that flights will continue to operate between the UK and the EU after Brexit, and we welcome the Transport Secretary’s clear statement that travellers can continue to book with confidence.”
