In a statement released on Monday, it said it had taken the decision to further extend the suspension of its flights and holidays programme in light of ongoing travel restrictions.

The statement said: “The health and safety of our customers and colleagues is our absolute priority, and we are continuing to monitor the situation very closely.

“We know there is a lot of pent-up demand for our award-winning holidays, and we cannot wait to take customers away on their well-deserved holidays again.”

It added: “Our commitment to working in partnership with independent travel agents has never been stronger, and we are contacting them with a number of options for customers, including rebook options, rebook codes and flexible T&Cs.

“All of these super flexible options are designed to help agents look after their customers, and we are very proud of the feedback we have received so far. We can assure all agents affected by today’s announcement that they will receive the same level of service.

“We have been very busy looking after customers and independent travel agents through what has been a difficult time for them, and we are looking forward to resuming what we do best – delivering package holidays you can trust.”

The operator said it had been working on a range of health and safety enhancements which would be “announced in due course”.
