Hong Kong is to ban all flights from the UK to curb the spread of the Delta variant of Covid-19. Hong Kong will classify the UK as an “extremely high-risk” country. The ban will come into effect on 1 July and affect all incoming passenger flights from Britain. There are around eight daily non-stop flights from the UK to Hong Kong, all flying out of London. Flights outbound from Hong Kong to the UK are not affected by the upcoming ban.
