"Some countries didn't restrict international air traffic amid the coronavirus pandemic, including Belarus, the UK, Iran, Ireland, Korea, Mexico, Germany, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic (although the airport in Prague is on lockdown). Qatar Airways, remains one of the few carriers worldwide to have retained its cargo and passenger traffic to a number of countries in Western Europe, Asia and Australia," reads the report.
Also, some countries are planning to launch international flights in the near future.
"In particular, Austria, Romania, Azerbaijan, Slovakia, Greece, and Georgia have restrictions on flights until the end of May. In early June, Turkey plans to resume international air travel. In Estonia, restrictions will be in place until June 7. Bulgaria, Indonesia, Iceland, Cyprus, Costa Rica, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Portugal, Egypt, and Israel will open their air gates no earlier than June 15," the report says.

Spain has imposed restrictions on the purpose of the trip and the categories of persons. The easing of travel restrictions is expected from June 22. Italy has identified an exhaustive list of airports entitled to serve flights under quarantine, in particular in Bologna, Milan, Rome, and Turin. In Canada, international flights are carried out only at four airports in the country (Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and Toronto). The resumption of international flights with China depends on the plans of individual carriers and the current status of quarantine measures in the destination. Finland still allows a limited number of flights. Three airports in Ljubljana, Maribor and Portorož are open for international traffic in Slovenia.
The press service said many countries still had no official information regarding the dates of the resumption of international flights.
