London, May 11 (RHC)-- The UK government has told airlines it will introduce a 14-day quarantine period for most people arriving from abroad, an association representing the carriers said.

Airlines UK said the move required "a credible exit plan" and called for a weekly review.  Airport operators said it could have a "devastating" impact on the aviation industry and the broader economy.  So far, Airbus posts more than $500 million first-quarter loss for 2020.

The quarantine plan was first reported by The Times newspaper, which said British Prime Minister Boris Johnson would on Sunday announce that passengers arriving at airports and ports, including Britons returning from abroad, will have to self-isolate for two weeks.

Under measures that are likely to come into force in early June, travellers will have to provide the address at which they will self-isolate on arrival, The Times said.
