Health measures across Europe and beyond are continually changing and it's really hard for airlines to keep up. This page provides information on the health measures in place across Europe and where more information can be found. Hopefully small airlines particularly will find it useful to keep their own information up to date.  

Information for European Countries provided below

Other countries will follow soon. (EASA is not responsible for issuing travel warnings or advisories or for decisions on whether borders are open or closed for EU citizens or those of other nationalities. These links point to other organisations which offer overviews of COVID-19 related travel information.)

Check the EU's Reopen.eu website or the relevant national website in each country as needed to confirm detail and further requirements. For Entry into the EU from non-EU destinations also refer to the EU's list of "safe" countries.
