UK holidaymakers reappeared with a roar, showering EasyJet Plc and tour operator TUI AG with summer bookings just hours after PM Boris Johnson outlined a roadmap for air travel to return.
EasyJet ticket sales more than quadrupled in the hours after Johnson said that international trips may restart as soon as May 17, the UK carrier said in a statement. TUI, which offers hotel and flight packages, said holiday bookings
to Spain, Turkey and Greece jumped sixfold overnight.
Airline shares advanced on mounting evidence of customer demand waiting to be unleashed over the crucial summer period.
