The UK government has announced plans to introduce a "traffic-light system" that will be used to rate other countries' coronavirus risk.

People travelling to Green or Amber countries - which includes most of Europe - will soon no be longer required to quarantine for 14 days on their return to the UK.

There are also plans to set up "air bridges" to allow for two-way travel between certain destinations with low transmission rates.

The foreign office continues to against all but essential travel for the time being, but many Brits will now be hoping to get a summer holiday in after all.

Here's what you need to know about the flights each airline is running.

EasyJet

EasyJet restarted flights Monday June 15.

Passengers, who under easyJet's new rules must wear face masks, boarded the airline's first flight from the newly reopened North terminal at Gatwick airport last Monday.

The airline is starting with a minimal service, flying mainly routes within Britain to cities including Edinburgh and Belfast.

It is also resuming some domestic and international routes from France, Switzerland, Italy and Portugal.

EasyJet is currently allowing all passengers to change their flights free of charge, to any date in the future.

To allow more flexibility, it has now launched its winter 2020 flights for just £30, as well as package holidays from winter 2020 to October 2021.

British Airways

British Airways has suspended all flights from London Gatwick and London City airports, and has moved all operations into terminal 5 at London Heathrow.

The offer applies to any bookings made between March 3 and August 31 2020 (for journeys set to be completed by 30 April 2021).

Ryanair

Ryanair restarted flights earlier than initially planned following reports that the government would be easing quarantine requirements for travellers.

The budget airline had been due to carry passengers again from on July 1, but instead resumed flights on routes across Europe from Sunday June 21.
