Peru looks to reopen international passenger air travel

Peru will restart passenger air transport internationally on Oct. 1 after it was suspended in March due to the coronavirus outbreak, Transport and Communications Minister Carlos Estremadoyro said Wednesday. Estremadoyro said his team had made proposals to airlines around biosecurity protocol and would look to resume flights to countries with open borders such as the United States, Mexico and Spain. The government also on Wednesday approved the transfer of 500m soles ($141.5m) into a guarantee fund for small companies working in the tourism sector. <br/>
