UP FR ONT GLOBAL TRAVEL TASKFORCE REVEALS
FRAMEWORK FOR RETURN OF FLYING THE UK GOVERNMENT’S Global Travel Taskforce has published its framework for a return to international travel, including the much-trailed “traffic light system” for destinations. Te green, amber and red categories will be based on factors
including the percentage of the destination’s population that has been vaccinated, the rate of infection, the prevalence of variants of concern and the country’s access to reliable scientific data and genomic sequencing. A “green watchlist” will identify countries at risk of moving from green to amber. Te government
RED: Arrivals will be subject to restrictions currently in place for “red list” countries, which at the time of writing included pre-departure testing, a ten-day stay in a managed quarantine hotel and PCR testing on days two and eight.
said it would work with the travel industry and private testing providers “to see how we can further reduce the cost of travel for the British public”. Visit

AMBER: Arrivals will need to undergo a pre-departure test and then quarantine for ten days on their return, taking PCR tests on days two and eight, with the option for Test to Release on day five to end self-isolation early.
GREEN: Arriving passengers will need to take a pre-departure test plus a PCR test on or before day two of their return to the UK – but will not need to quarantine (unless they receive a positive result) or take any additional tests, halving the cost of tests on their return from their trip.

UNITED TEAMS UP WITH ARCHER AVIATION TO DEVELOP AIRCRAFT FOR SHORT-HAUL ROUTES
United has signed an agreement with electric aircraft start-up Archer Aviation to accelerate the production of short-haul planes.
The deal will see United “contribute its expertise
in airspace management to assist Archer with the development of battery-powered, short-haul aircraft”. The carrier said that once the
aircraft had “met United’s operating and business requirements” it would acquire a fleet of 200 of the planes, alongside its codeshare partner, Mesa Airlines. Archer’s aircraft are currently
designed to travel distances of up to 100km at speeds of about 240km per hour. United said that future models would “travel faster and further”.
