Prime Minister Robert Abela announced that Malta will be opening its airport and the ports to all nations on 15 July.

On 1 July, the airport is set to open up to a number of destinations, dubbed safe corridors. This batch originally included Israel, however Israel has been temporarily removed from the list.

However, the Prime Minister has announced a number of other destinations that will see flights starting to and from Malta on 1 July. These are Italy (except the North) France (except for one region), Spain (except for one region), Poland, Greece and Croatia.

The airport and ports were closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, however as numbers began decreasing, more and more restrictive measures have been eased.

The PM was speaking during an interview on ONE TV.
