EasyJet holidays has taken customers to Majorca for the first time in more than a year.
The operator had cancelled all holidays to Majorca since March 2020, in response to Covid travel restrictions and Foreign Office warnings.
Following the government’s travel announcement on about traffic light categories on June 24, holidays to the Balearics are able to take off again, as they now have green list status.
Dean Thomas, easyJet holidays’ head of customer operations travelled out to Majorca to meet the first arrivals.

“We’d like to say a huge thank you to our customers for their loyalty and patience, as well as a thank you to our trusted partners on the ground in Majorca who are helping us create fantastic holiday experiences this summer.”
