The Aviation Recovery Taskforce says Ireland is significantly behind other EU member states when it comes to air travel restrictions.
The Aviation Recovery Taskforce has recommended that the 14 day quarantine be lifted by July 1st.
It's highlighted how Ireland is now significantly behind other European Union Member States when it comes to the restoration of air travel.
This task force was set by Government two weeks ago to make recommendations on what needs to be done to assist the Irish aviation sector to recover from the COVID-19 crisis.
In its first interim report, its points out that the European Commission called on member states to lift all border restrictions by June 15th and notes that Ireland is now significantly behind other countries -- despite having equivalent or even better success in containing Covid-19.
The report calls for urgent clarity on the plan for lifting the 14-day quarantine period and the easing of travel restrictions, both of which it says should be done by next Wednesday, July 1st.
As things stand, the Government is still advising against non-essential travel abroad.
Meanwhile on Sunday, Dublin Airport had its busiest day since the beginning of the pandemic with 4,000 passengers passing through. However, the daily average before the virus hit was 115,000.
