Ukraine International Airlines offers the Cabinet of Ministers to revise and approve new rules for entry into Ukraine of the vaccinated person. This is stated in the message of the press service of UIA.
UIA notes, that currently, mass vaccination of the local population is gaining momentum across the world, which will witness a steady upward trend this year. In this regard, the WHO, EU member states, and international air transport organizations are discussing the introduction of an electronic Covid-19 vaccination certificate to facilitate international border crossing.
The company assured that the approval of new rules for vaccinated persons will contribute to a gradual increase in passenger traffic to the country, as well as have a positive impact on the vaccination campaign in Ukraine.
