EU to lift entry ban in boost for EX-YU aviation
NEWS FLASH
The European Commission has advised its member states to remove the ban on non-essential travel for citizens of third countries who have been vaccinated against Covid-19, as well as for those who have recovered from the virus. Updating the recommendation on the temporary restriction of non-essential travel into the EU, the bloc’s Council noted the newly introduced recommendation comes as a result of the evolution of the pandemic, as well as the high share of the world population vaccinated against Covid-19. According to the Council, EU members should permit entry for non-essential travellers who are vaccinated with one of the jabs that have approval by the European Medicines Agency or the World Health Organization, without the need for additional testing. Although each member states makes their own rules on entry requirements, the majority follow European Commission guidelines, with Italy already announcing it will adopt the new policy from next week. The lifting of entry bans and restrictions by most EU members would provide a major boost for the aviation industry in former Yugoslav markets outside of the European Union, which heavily rely on traffic to and from the bloc as their main source of passengers.
