Mykonos added to UK's safe travel list

The Greek island of Mykonos, the Canary Islands, the Maldives and Denmark have been added to the UK's travel corridor list.

From 4am on Sunday 25 October, passengers arriving to the UK from these destinations (Mykonos, the Canary Islands, the Maldives and Denmark) will no longer need to self-isolate.

It is recalled Crete was added to the travel corridor last week.

Greece extends travel restrictions until October 25

All passengers arriving in Greece must fill in a Passenger Locator Form (PLF) at least a day before arrival, providing information that will include their departure airport, the address where they will be staying and the expected duration of their stay in Greece, among others. The information on the form is a key element of the country’s planning for protection against the pandemic and preventing the spread of the virus.

The Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority stressed that before accepting passengers for boarding, airlines must check:

• the PLF submission confirmation at least the day before the flight, which is a mandatory travel document
• the correspondence with the QR code and the PLF

Airlines that do not comply with this control obligation will be responsible for the repatriation of passengers at the expense of the company.
