Ryanair and Manchester Airport Group have now filed papers with the high court in regard to its legal challenge of the government’s managing of the travel traffic light system, we understand.
Ryanair and the owner of Manchester, London Stansted and East Midlands airports are calling for more transparency about how the government decides which countries qualify for the green list of safe places to visit amid the pandemic.
The system currently rates countries green, amber or red based on their Covid risk, which ministers say “cautiously manages the risk of new variants”.
The move comes as some papers report that officials are analysing whether travellers who have had both coronavirus vaccine doses could avoid having to quarantine when they return from amber countries.
