Airlines, such as Transavia, Lufthansa or Brussels Airlines, had previously mentioned starting flying to Spain from June, but one can not forget that upon arrival one should be in quarantine for 15 days and only people with Spanish nationality and residents who can demostrate this with their registrationdocuments, may enter the country. However, Ryanair has confirmed that they will only start to fly on the 1st of July from and to the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Spain among others. All mandatory safety measures must be taken, such as wearing a mouthmask and taking the temperature before boarding the plane.
