If from 30 October, French residents could only take a plane for “an urgent reason of either personal or family nature, an emergency health reason or an unavoidable professional reason,” the rules around air travel will soon be relaxed.

In December, the airport has scheduled 583 weekly flights to 55 different destinations in France and abroad. In November, the number of flights was down to 369 flights a week to 38 different destinations.
