Following the decision of the European Union to remove Serbia and Montenegro from the list of Covid-19 safe countries from which travel is allowed, the 12 countries that remain on the European list and are exempted from the bans are the following: Algeria, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay.

Due to the outbreak of Covid-19 cases in Albania and Northern Macedonia, an air directive (notam) came into force, from today, Thursday 16 July until the 31st of the month at 23:59, which provides that all flights between Greece and these two states will be conducted only at “Eleftherios Venizelos” excluding the routes at the other airports.
