IMPACT – HIGH

Colombia has announced that it will resume international flights starting Sept. 21.

Key points:

• Flights will be allowed to and from Bolivia, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico and the United States.
• International flights will be available to and from airports in Bogotá, Cali, Cartagena and Rionegro.
• All travelers will be required to present negative PCR COVID-19 test results for domestic and international flights.
• The Colombian government says flights to and from additional countries will be added as other countries begin to lift their own border restrictions and to destinations that are also following COVID-19 precautionary measures.

Background: Air travel has been grounded in Colombia since March. Domestic flights resumed earlier this month. Land, river and sea borders in Colombia remain closed.
