Malta International Airport has welcomed the government’s announcement in relation to PCR tests and recovery certificates as the first step towards the complete removal of travel restrictions.

The Airport said that in principle, all persons wishing to travel to our islands from one of more than 100 countries on Malta’s red list, can now do so regardless of their vaccination status.

“It is worth highlighting that PCR tests are an inconvenience (as well as an added cost, which can run into hundreds of euro for a travelling family) which can prompt potential visitors to choose another destination for their summer holiday,” the Airport said.

It added that, “this particularly given that a number of European countries, including Switzerland, the Netherlands, Ireland and the United Kingdom, to name but a few, have recently completely removed all restrictions on travel.”

Malta International Airport concluded by appealing to the government “`to give visibility – to both the industry and potential visitors – of when the remaining COVID-19 travel restrictions, including the red and dark red colour system, will be completely removed.”
