Turkey reopens

Airlines easyJet, Pegasus, Ryanair and TUI are the beneficiaries following the Turkish Government’s announcement that double vaccinated holidaymakers from the UK no longer need to undertake a PCR test before travelling.  Children under 12 are exempt.

Also well pleased with the decision is Jet2.com, based at Leeds Bradford Airport who also have a major base at Stansted.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2 Holidays, had this to say: “Turkey is one of our most popular destinations for customers who want some late-summer sunshine, an October break or some winter sun, so this really is fantastic news for UK holidaymakers. Since restarting flights and holidays to Turkey from all of our UK bases last month we have experienced enormous demand and this will only increase further on the back of such positive news.

We have been speaking to the Turkish Government about the impact of costly testing burdens on hardworking customers and families, so we applaud this decision. As the UK’s leading tour operator to Turkey, we are delighted at this news and we now look forward to taking even more customers on their well-deserved flights and holidays.”
