Ukraine restores international air traffic on June 15. But this does not mean that from now on Ukrainians can fly anywhere, because most of the borders will remain closed, and the restrictions that countries set for foreigners remain, notes Air force.

Now the main date from which tourist trips will be possible is called July 1. That is when most of the countries in which Ukrainians go on vacation plan to open their borders.

However, this date is not final. Everything will depend on the epidemiological situation both in Ukraine and in other countries.

Will anyone fly

Flight planes will still fly from June 15.

They will be much smaller. Only certain categories of citizens have the right to fly. But not tourists.

Firstly, these are foreigners who are in Ukraine.

Besides them, there are Ukrainians who go for treatment, study, work, and whose relatives are citizens of one country or another. Although such flights were carried out until June 15. Citizens of Ukraine in such situations must provide documents about their status.

A few days before the restoration of international traffic, carriers doubted whether anyone would be sent to other countries.

Boryspil airport said that from June 15 there will be 15 regular flights per day.

However, as the director of the airport Pavel Ryabikin said earlier, they don’t know whether they will complete it or not, because there is no demand. Therefore, it is possible that flights will be canceled.

As of 17:30 on June 15, only two flights were canceled on the online board of the Boryspil airport - to Chisinau and Tel Aviv.

UIA announced that it will not sell tickets until August 1, until there is information about the possibilities of tourists to travel.

On the airline's website, the schedule now includes three domestic routes for June: Kyiv-Odessa, Kyiv-Lviv and Kyiv-Kherson, and only one international route - to London.

Kiev Airport announced that it will resume flights from June 16. These are flights to Poland, Germany, Portugal, Belarus, and the Baltic countries. These flights are not for tourists but for people who fall under the categories mentioned above.

But already on June 15 at 17:30 the airport's electronic board announces the cancellation of all international flights scheduled for this day.

International airports throughout Ukraine announce the restoration of certain flights and offer tickets to less than 10 countries.

The Cabinet of Ministers has stated in recent weeks that the country will open air borders in sync with other states.

The government resumed operation of checkpoints and control at Ukrainian airports and allowed foreigners to cross the border. Forbidden to citizens of countries with a significant spread of COVID-19, and those who have been on the territory of such states for the past 14 days.

Where can Ukrainian tourists

According to the Ministry of Infrastructure, Albania and the United States are ready to receive Ukrainian citizens without restrictions.

Previously announced flights on June 22 and 28 from New York and Miami to Kyiv can no longer be seen on the official website of the UIA airline: it notes that “the flight is unavailable or tickets have been sold out.”

Google Flights does not yet provide information on direct flights between the US and Ukraine for July, but in June there are two direct flights:

Albania, which has increasingly attracted tourists in recent years, welcomed its first charter flight after quarantine from Belarus on June 14. And he is waiting for the Ukrainians.

The UK is also open to Ukrainians, but tourists will have a two-week observation.

Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Georgia reported that they are ready to meet Ukrainians from early July. Each of these countries will present its requirements for vacationers to prevent infection.

Türkiye is a popular maritime country among Ukrainians. Tour operators say demand for holidays there is growing. However, one should hardly expect a significant influx in early July.

The Turkish government has warned that all foreigners arriving on holiday will be tested for coronavirus immediately at the airport.

“By the beginning of July, demand for Turkey is significantly lower than last year,” Anton Rudich, president of the Ukrainian Association of Travel Agencies, tells BBC News Ukraine. — Travel agents will fly on the first flights to see with their own eyes what is there. And tourists who rebooked their vacation for July after the ban in March-May.”

From July 1, Egypt will only allow arrival at the main sea resorts: Sharm El Sheikh, Dahab, Hurghada.

The Egyptians plan to fill hotels by 75% to maintain social distance. In case of coronavirus infection during the rest, the tourist will be provided with treatment using the funds of the fund created in the country to combat COVID-19.

Tunisia will meet the first tourists on June 27. At the airport, foreigners will pass the test.

Tourists must also provide a document confirming that they are not infected with COVID-19, and go through a seven-day quarantine. Then they will be checked again. Quarantine tourists will be held in hotels.

Georgia plans to open borders to foreigners on July 1. The government promised that tourists would vacation only in so-called “green zones,” that is, in resorts with a normal epidemiological situation.

Other popular resort countries - Croatia, Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, which are members of the European Union, as well as Montenegro, which is not part of the EU, may also open borders to Ukrainians on July 1.

Montenegro has already allowed tourists from more than 100 countries to come on vacation, but Ukraine is not among them.

EU: Prohibitions for Third Countries

Between Schengen countries flights are restored from June 15. But citizens of other countries are still waiting for a separate decision.

It should appear in late June. It is possible that Ukrainian tourists are still not allowed to enter the European Union.

They decided to create a list of states for the Schengen zone, which tourists will be allowed to cross the border on July 1.

The recommendations say that restrictions should be lifted, first of all, on the entry of tourists from those third countries where the same or better epidemiological situation than the EU as a whole.

Home is best?

The Ukrainian government does not hide the fact that this summer, due to uncertainty, it is better to relax at home.

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, our priority remains unchanged - the development of regional aviation and domestic tourism,” said Minister of Infrastructure Vladislav Krikliy.

The Foreign Ministry warns Ukrainians: before planning a trip, you should study the conditions that other countries put forward. But they are different.

Temperature screening, testing, mandatory certificates, as well as observation or self-isolation - this is what awaits tourists abroad.

Most countries have no obligation to cover treatment costs in case of infection. Testing of foreigners may be paid.

As Anton Rudich says, there is still uncertainty about what will happen to tourists upon returning home. Whether 14-day self-isolation or observation will still be mandatory is unknown.

All these circumstances will affect the number of tourists who want to go on vacation. Although optimists say that we need to get used to the new conditions of flights, and recreation, and life in general.
