The Cabinet Office assured that the government has taken measures to open the airports from 26th of this month to 19th January of 2021 as per the health recommendations, as a pilot project in the plans to open the airports on the island for foreign tourists.
Accordingly, international airlines will be operating according to specific schedules prepared by the Ministry of Tourism and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
