Transport Secretary, Grant Shapps, has announced a simplified system for international travel from the UK.
He argued the move was possible in light of the success of the domestic vaccine rollout, and would provide greater stability for the industry and passengers.
The current traffic light system will be replaced by a single red list of countries and territories, with changes coming into effect on October 4th.
Testing requirements will also be reduced for eligible fully vaccinated travellers, who will no longer need to take a PCR test when travelling to England.
From the end of October, eligible fully vaccinated passengers and those with an approved vaccine from a select group of non-red countries will be able to replace their day two test with a cheaper lateral flow test, reducing the cost of tests on arrival into England.
