it has quite a lot of significant costs, in particular on the airline industry and business travel which is smaller in number but pretty important. And given that community spread is going to be a far bigger issue this ban is nonsensical.

Seems like many companies are already curtailing or banning business travel (especially international), so this might not be too much of a change.
