Finnish minister urges Skopje flight suspension
NEWS FLASH
The Finnish Minister for Transport and Communications, Timo Harakka, has said he is hopeful that services between Skopje and Turku will be temporarily suspended by the end of the month after a number of imported coronavirus cases have been traced to the Wizz Air flights. The Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom) is currently considering the option of temporarily discontinuing the service. Flights between Skopje and Turku have been linked to sixty coronavirus infections detected in the Finnish city. A total of 26 infections were registered in passengers arriving on August 8, five in passengers arriving on August 11 and twelve in travellers arriving on August 15. Data for August 22 is still being analysed. The Mayor of Turku, Minna Arve, has come to an agreement with airport operator Finavia and Wizz Air on reducing frequencies on the route and requiring all passengers to test negative for the virus before boarding the aircraft bound for Turku. The airline now maintains one instead of two weekly flights. “Thanks to Wizz Air for making the responsible decision”, she said.
