Ryanair Holdings Plc and the owner of London Stansted airport plan to challenge the U.K.’s travel policy, saying a lack of transparency is undermining consumer confidence and hindering an airline industry recovery from the coronavirus crisis.
The lawsuit set to be filed on Thursday will seek more clarity about how the government assesses the risk of visiting other countries, Manchester Airports Group said. The suit, which has support from other airlines, comes as the U.K. considers revisions that will make travel easier for vaccinated people, according to a person familiar with the matter.
