Growing number of EU countries ban flights to UK over new virus strain
Natasha Turak

Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy are suspending flights from the U.K.,
officials from those countries announced Sunday, amid fears over a new strain
of the coronavirus sweeping London and southern England that is 70% more
transmissible than existing strains.

German authorities have said they are considering “serious options” on halting
flights from the U.K. but have not announced specific actions, while French media
outlets have suggested France may also suspend flights.

The Dutch are banning the U.K. flights for the rest of the year at least, while
Belgium is enacting a 24-hour flight suspension beginning at midnight as well
as cutting train links to the country, which include the Eurostar. The moves come
after U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson put London and surrounding areas into
a new Tier 4 level of restrictions, mandating a much more severe lockdown this
Christmas.
