Rules For Domestic And International Flights During Lockdown In Greece
The Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority on Sunday issued an aviation directive regarding domestic and international flights during Greece's nationwide lockdown, namely from November 9 to November 30.

Domestic Flights
From 6 am on Monday, November 9, domestic flights and commercial and general/business aviation to all airports in Greece are allowed only for necessary travel, such as medical reasons, business trips, the reunification of families, and returning to a person's permanent residence.

International Flights
From Tuesday, November 10 onwards, all passengers of international flights departing from Greece must fill in a Passenger Locator Form.

From 6 am on Wednesday, November 11, travelers to Greece must manifest a negative COVID-19 test no older than 72 hours. Incoming passengers will also be required to fill in a Passenger Locator Form (PLF) at least one day before arrival, providing detailed information, such as their departure airport, the address where they will be staying, and the expected duration of their stay in Greece.

The Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority emphasized that before accepting passengers onboard, airlines must check:

1. The Passenger Locator Form submission confirmation
2. The correspondence with the QR code and the Passenger Locator Form

Airlines that do not comply with the new rules will be responsible for the repatriation of passengers at their own expense.
