What the petition asks
The Government need to close all UK Airports for all commercial travel and only allow airlines to operate freight and cargo services to ensure we are still able to provide the vital resources for our nation.
We are seeing an increasing number of infections due to COVID-19. This has been an on-going issue since we first locked down in March. The government has refused to close our borders and lockdown our country from travellers coming and going. This is causing a widespread of the virus and not allowing our nation to heal.
The Government have not put in place sufficient protections.
