The president announced that the pilots will begin to restart international flights in the country.

“We are going to begin to restore international flights. Obviously it will not be with full dynamism as we had before the pandemic. We are already identifying these routes,” warned the head of state.
He also announced that they have received requests from Barranquilla, Cartagena, Medellín and that Pereira is in the process. “We know it is important and we are looking at the routes and some requirements,” he added.
For his part, the Vice Minister of the Interior, Daniel Palacios, emphasized that all the country’s airports will be open as of September 1. “We are in the development of biosafety protocols for international flights, where, as a minimum, there will have to be a negative test by the traveler entering the national territory.”

Palacios added that the routes with which they will have connectivity are being established, a plan that is being led by the Ministry of Transport, with the Civil Aeronautics.
EL TIEMPO learned exclusively that the airlines prioritized Aerocivil five routes to begin reopening, which are the United States, Panama, Ecuador, Chile and Peru (the latter country only reopens since December).
For her part, the Minister of Transport, Ángela María Orozco, said that it is expected that this week, after carrying out a process of ‘health diplomacy’ with all countries, Aerocivil will present them to the Ministries of Transport and Health, based on a country-by-country mapping, a plan for this initial phase of connectivity, in the same way that occurred with domestic flights, which is gradual.
