Turkey 'expects' to be on UK’s air bridge list confirms ambassador

Turkey is hoping to welcome British tourists again shortly and expects to be on the list of destinations to be exempted from the UK’s quarantine measures.

The nation’s ambassador to the UK said on Wednesday that his country believes it will be among those to form so-called air bridges when an announcement is made later this week.

Umit Yalcin insisted it is safe to open up travel with Turkey despite a recent spike in cases after lockdown restrictions to combat the spread of Covid-19 were eased.

The Government has imposed a 14-day quarantine on anyone entering the UK, apart from a few exemptions. But Prime Minister Boris Johnson is under pressure from the travel industry and from within his own party to ease the restriction to boost tourism
