Britons warned they may be stopped from entering air bridges

Speaking on ITV Good Morning Britain, travel expert Lisa Minot warned some countries thought to be included on the list of air bridges for the UK this week, may now refuse British

holidaymakers from entering. Portugal is believed to have been excluded from the list that will be announced soon by the UK Government as a second peak of coronavirus cases hit Lisbon last

week.  But Ms Minot warned now Greece may apply the same logic against British travellers after a second spike of COVID cases hit Leicester, forcing the East Midlands city to be on lockdown

again.  She told Piers Morgan: "We've already got this in that Greece has already said they're not willing to let the Brits in until July 15 the earliest. "So no matter

whether or not we decide that we want to travel somewhere or that the Government says we are allowed to travel to Greece. "If they don't want to let us in, there's nothing we

can do about it." READ MORE: AIRBRIDGE ANNOUNCEMENT: WHEN WILL AIR BRIDGES BE ANNOUNCED? Airlines are ramping up their flight schedules from Wednesday in a bid to recover from the

coronavirus pandemic. More than 1,000 flights per day will be operated by Ryanair, which has run a skeleton schedule since mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic. It is restoring almost

90 percent of its route network but frequencies will be lower than normal, with just 40 percent of its normal July capacity. EasyJet will run around 500 flights each day across Europe,

including more than 900 a week to and from the UK. It restarted a small number of flights on June 15 after all its aircraft were grounded in March. Both airlines require passengers to wear

face masks or face coverings as part of enhanced safety and hygiene measures. British Airways has said it will make a "meaningful return" to service this month. Ryanair

Group's chief executive Michael O'Leary said: "We expect in July to carry more than 4.5 million customers, many of them families taking well earned Mediterranean holidays

after the severe challenges of the COVID-19 lockdown, homeschooling, etc. "These 1,000 daily flights mark an important turning point for Ryanair and for the tourism industry of Europe,

which supports so many jobs and small businesses." DON'T MISS: WHEN IS BORIS' NEXT SPEECH? AIR BRIDGE ANNOUNCEMENT IMMINENT [INSIGHT] GREECE HOLIDAYS: WHEN CAN I GO TO GREECE?

great to have around 500 drivers back behind the wheel. "All of our teams have been working hard to get us ready to safely welcome customers back onboard, implementing significant

changes to protect everyone's health and well being. "We're happy to be back on the road and playing our part in getting the country safely moving again by providing a safe

option for those who have no alternative to public transport."
