The resumption of passenger traffic gradually announced within the VINCI Airports network
After a period of limited mobility as part of the fight against Covid-19, VINCI Airports’ 45 airports in 12 countries are preparing to reopen their doors to passengers. In order to guarantee the protection of passengers and employees, VINCI Airports has implemented new health measures throughout its network. Complementing the new protocols implemented by the airlines, these measures enable the gradual resumption of services under the best health safety conditions.
Gradual renewal of passengers traffic has started this week at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport which is fully ready to welcome passengers and airlines in order to contribute to reconnecting Belgrade and Serbia with the region and the world. This is a very positive and important first step toward economy, tourism and trade recovery from the impact of COVID 19 pandemic. This week, national airline Air Serbia will resume flights to Frankfurt, Zurich, Vienna and London Heathrow, Belavia to Minsk and Wizz Air to London Luton. In the following period, depending on the situation development and regulations more airlines and routes are expected to be re-established.
In compliance with government travel authorizations in France, this resumption will take place at Lyon Airport, as of June 8, with the resumption of Air France flights to 11 destinations :
– From 8 June: Nantes, Bordeaux, Toulouse
– From 15 June: Brest, Biarritz, Caen, Lille, Nice, Rennes and Strasbourg
– From June 22nd: Pau
Each destination will be served 3 times a week on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays.
Twin Jet is also announcing the resumption of twice-weekly flights to Zurich (Wednesday and Thursday) and Stuttgart (Tuesday and Thursday) from 15 June.
At Nantes Atlantique airport, the Nantes-Lyon Saint Exupéry route, operated by Air France and linking two airports of VINCI Airports network, will be relaunched from 8 June 2020, with one arrival and one departure per day, every Monday, Friday and Sunday. The other airlines have not yet confirmed their flight schedules to date.
At Toulon Hyères airport, the route to Roissy Charles de Gaulle will be relaunched with Air France from Tuesday 2 June 2020 with a daily return flight. Two flights per day will be operated from Monday 15 June 2020, mainly by Airbus A320.
Toulon Hyères has also just taken a major step in the major programme of work to modernize the airport’s runways and runway lighting, which began last October with the completion of work on the main runway, enabling commercial traffic to resume.
Relevant procedures and measures are being put in place at the 45 airports of VINCI Airports network, that will, along with sanitary measures applied by the airlines, ensure the safety of all passengers, partners and employees from the moment first flights are established. This, among other procedures, include the mandatory wearing of masks for passengers, organization of passenger flows, placement of signage and information in the terminal building and enhanced hygiene and disinfection measures, all in line with international and domestic regulations. In order to timely inform passengers and the public regarding the proper behaviour during their stay in the terminal building, VINCI Airports has launched an educational campaign called “Protecting each other” at all 45 airports it operates around the world.
