The news was shared by the PM, however, international travellers need to take a mandatory RT-PCR test within three days of their arrival in the country.
The PM further stated that the government will normalise the number of international flights and go back to the pre-covid time when the restrictions on international flights arriving at the Incheon International Airport will be lifted on the same day.

According to the transport ministry, this move will help increase the flight arrivals per hour to pre-covid which is around 40 from the current 20.
Now that the demand for foreign travel is increasing in the country, the nation has decided to lift its pandemic-related restrictions on air travel.
