Argentina risks stranding its own citizens abroad, airlines warn
The Peninsula
Argentina’s decision to limit the number of international travelers in a bid to curb the spread of Covid risks stranding thousands of its citizens abroad, according to airline industry groups.
Argentina’s government, which has already banned foreign tourists from entering the country for months, announced late Friday that only 600 travelers per day will be allowed to arrive on international flights, down from a previous quota of 2,000 people. The measure, in effect since Saturday, is intended to reduce the circulation of people amid growing numbers of Covid-19 cases in the country. The International Air Transport Association, among other airline groups, called for an urgent meeting with government officials to discuss the matter. IATA represents 290 airlines across the world.More Related News
