Three airline carriers have announced that they have initiated legal action against the UK government, in the wake of its announcement that international arrivals will be obligated to enter a 14-day quarantine.

The Guardian reports that British Airways, easyJet, and Ryanair are requesting a judicial review of the policy, arguing that it will lead to a drop in travel and that it is likely to threaten jobs in the air travel sector, already severely impacted by the pandemic crisis.
