British Airways, easyJet and Rolls-Royce among the day’s biggest stock market winners
Nearly £2bn was added to the value of UK airlines and tourism companies on Wednesday after ministers decided that vaccinated travellers from the US and EU will no longer have to quarantine upon arrival in England.
British Airways, easyJet and jet engine maker Rolls-Royce were among the biggest beneficiaries, enjoying strong stock market gains on hopes that the cloud over the travel sector may finally be lifting.
