The head of British airline Jet2 has hit back at “inflammatory” and “offensive” comments made by Lanzarote’s president about British tourists.
Dolores Corujo told trade conferences last week that the Canary island, a popular holiday destination for Britons off the coast of West Africa, wanted to attract more “high quality” tourists from mainland Europe, such as from Germany, the Netherlands and France, so it didn’t have to depend on British travellers.
