Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “We know that the Scottish government’s decision to remove quarantine rules is music to the ears of our customers, who are looking to get away to their favourite destinations for some sun, relaxation and time away from it all.

“This is why we have responded in less than 24 hours to offer them a great choice of flights and holidays to Crete and Rhodes.
