The chief executive of easyJet has criticised the government’s “confusing” approach over travel to amber countries, saying health data proves the majority of European countries should be moved to the green list.

Johan Lundgren said that while other European countries were lifting restrictions, the UK was out of step, failing to add countries to the green list and advising holidaymakers not to go to those designated as amber risk.
