The CEO of Jet2, Steve Heapy, has told the President of the Canary Islands, Ángel Víctor Torres, and his Minister of Tourism, Yaiza Castilla, that his company expects to bring more than 2 million British tourists to the islands this summer when the UK opens, and that bookings are already 47% up on summer last year.
During a videoconference between the three of them earlier today to analyze the prospects of recovery of the sector after the Covid crisis, Heapy said it is the first time that he is actually confident of a restart of travel from the UK, since the pandemic began, due to the global decrease of data and the tremendous progress made in Britain with their vaccine plan.
