Tourism Minister Julia Farrugia has said that Malta would reopen its airport on the 1st of July to 19 destinations. The list includes the following: Sardinia & Sicily (Italy), Iceland, Slovakia, Cyprus, Lithuania, Israel, Latvia, Switzerland, Norway, Estonia, Denmark, Hungary, Austria, Luxembourg, Germany, Czech Republic, Finland and Ireland.
Tourists coming to Malta from these 19 destinations will not need to be quarantined nor will they be subjected to tests. The lifting of restrictions applies only to direct flights, and passengers have to guarantee that they were in the same country for at least four weeks.
The airport is planning to introduce social distancing measures, better hygiene and more sophisticated temperature checks when it opens while Air Malta has already announced that anyone flying on its aircraft has to wear a mask.
