Polish LOT launches Warsaw-Lviv flights – Kryklii

LOT Polish Airlines has launched flights on the Warsaw-Lviv-Warsaw route, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these flights are not yet available to tourists.

"LOT Airlines launched flights on the Warsaw-Lviv-Warsaw route. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these flights are not yet available to tourists," Infrastructure Minister Vladyslav Kryklii wrote on Facebook.

He added that the route can be used by foreigners, diplomats, citizens of Ukraine with residence permits in the EU and with work contracts, and transit travelers.

According to Kryklii, the flights will soon be available to Ukrainians travelling for tourism. "The pandemic will be a thing of the past, and we will be able to enjoy visa-free travel again," he said.

As reported, the Government introduced quarantine in Ukraine on March 12 to combat the spread of coronavirus infection. In particular, the operation of subways in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Dnipro was suspended, as well as the operation of ground transport in the cities.

The first stage of easing quarantine restrictions in Ukraine was introduced on May 11.

The next stage of easing quarantine was announced on May 22.

Adaptive quarantine is in force in Ukraine until July 31. That is, restrictive measures can be relaxed or intensified depending on the epidemic situation in each region.

Scheduled international flights were resumed on June 15 after a months-long break due to the coronavirus pandemic. Domestic air traffic was resumed on June 5.
