“The airline expects to increase flying as customer demand continues to build and restrictions are relaxed,” said a company statement. “During the lockdown period the fleet has been grounded the aircraft have been maintained in a flight ready condition to enable the airline to resume flights quickly at the right time.”

“A new range of additional measures will be in place to help ensure the safety and wellbeing of all customers and crew onboard.

However, despite this announcement from easyJet, nothing has changed in terms of rules currently in place for travellers.

You can still only enter France for specific reasons related to work, or to return to your main residence (and not a second home). “Travel to France is permitted only when strictly necessary,” is the message on the Consulate General of France in London.
