Ireland hopes to be able to recommend the resumption of air travel with a select number of countries in a number of weeks, Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said on Thursday.

“I hope that as the world returns to a new normality, we will see international air travel resume, in the first instance through air bridges with countries that have suppressed the virus to a similar extent as ours,” Varadkar told parliament.

“This however is some weeks away and it’s far too soon for anyone to book their holidays yet but summer is not yet lost,” the PM added.

Ireland requires anyone entering the country to self-isolate for 14 days, and the government will review the quarantine for travelers on June 18. Airlines, in particular Ireland’s Ryanair, have pushed back against the rules that they say are impossible to implement, according to Reuters.
