The Diplomat
The Government yesterday approved the ninth extension of the February 2 agreement limiting flights between Brazil and South Africa and Spanish airports to combat the spread of COVID-19.
The measure will be in force from 00:00 hours on June 8 until 00:00 hours on June 22 (Spanish peninsular time in both cases). From Brazil and South Africa, flights to Spain may only be operated by Spanish or Andorran citizens, as well as residents of both countries or passengers in international transit to a non-Schengen country with a stopover of less than 24 hours without leaving the transit zone of the Spanish airport.
These restrictions do not affect the aeronautical personnel necessary to carry out air transport activities. In addition, other exemptions are contemplated for State aircraft flights, search and rescue services (SAR), flights with stopover in Spanish territory for non-commercial purposes and with final destination in another country, exclusive cargo flights, positional (ferry) and humanitarian, medical or emergency flights.
On the other hand, the Council of Ministers extended, from 00:00 hours on June 13 until 24:00 hours on June 26, the quarantine conditions to which persons arriving by flight from any airport located in India to any airport located in Spain, with or without intermediate stopovers, must be subjected.
