Poland’s state-owned airline PLL LOT said earlier that it would not resume flights before the end of May. Deputy Minister Marcin Horała on Saturday announced three stages of bringing air traffic back to normal, reported Polish Radio.
The process will first see the return of domestic flights as of June 1, as announced a few days ago. In the second stage, after the country’s borders are reopened, Poland will start restoring international connections within the European Union with the countries that have lifted epidemic restrictions, Horała said.
Authorities are in touch on this with the governments of other member states, he added. The first international flights are expected to resume in mid-July.
In the third stage Poles will be allowed to make long-haul flights to Asia and North America, Horała was quoted as saying by Polish Radio.
