British Airways, EasyJet, and Ryanair sued the United Kingdom government for its "flawed" plan to quarantine most incoming travelers, insisting it is limited to passengers from "high risk" countries.
The airlines said the quarantine would have a "devastating effect" not only on tourism but on the economy as a whole.
According to the airlines, re-adopting a previous policy introduced on March 10 that limited the quarantine on "high risk" countries would be the most practical and effective solution.
They added that it would allow civil servants to focus on more significant issues caused by the pandemic while putting the UK in line with much of Europe.
The UK has hesitated on suggestions for creating "air bridges'' with countries that are not high risk.
Carriers around the world are forecasted to lose $84 billion this year, being hit by the near-total freeze in travel in efforts to contain the pandemic.
Many have filed for bankruptcy or sought bailouts and are cutting thousands of jobs.
