Little by little it is looking at what points there are in equality of conditions to be able to reactivate these points”, he said.
The condition for these flights are the people that each country is authorized to enter, that must be controlled by the company and the authorities of the country from where it split the flight. Up to now, the demand is still higher for travel from Uruguay to Spain.
