Russia Resumes International Flights to Morocco, UK, and European Countries Amid Easing COVID Restrictions

Russia has decided to reopen its air links with Morocco, Lebanon, the United Kingdom and several European countries. These flights had been suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

"Given the improvement of the epidemiological situation in the United Kingdom, (the authorities) have decided not to extend the suspension of air traffic." This announcement was made by the government body in charge of the fight against Covid-19, quoted by the Russian press agencies. Traffic resumed on Wednesday.

Russia has also announced the resumption of its flights with Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Lebanon, Morocco and other countries starting June 10. On the other hand, it has extended the suspension of flights to Turkey, a major tourist destination for Russians, until June 21.

To date, Russia has gradually reopened its borders to citizens of about twenty countries.
