EASA Updates List of Airports in Covid-19 High Risk Areas
Heathrow Airport.
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) on Wednesday updated the list of airports located in affected areas with high risk of transmission of the Covid-19 infection.
EASA determined that a list of airports located in affected areas should be established and maintained to support aircraft and aerodrome operators to put in place an extra layer of protection for the passengers and crew members (namely enhanced cleaning and disinfection), rather than suggesting that all airports worldwide are high risk areas.
“Therefore, EASA maintains and adjusts the risk assessment methodology to include the latest available epidemiological information,” the agency said.

The list of airports located in affected areas with high risk of transmission of the coronavirus infection is developed in coordination with EASA Member States and based on the information from the World Health Organization (WHO), the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and other reputable public health institutes.
In addition to the testing ratio, additional parameters in EASA’s methodology have been taken into account, such as: number of active cases, number of recovered cases, trend of new cases/day, deaths/inhabitants, trend of new deaths/day, number of tests/inhabitants, cases in urban vs. rural areas and number & size of the airports serving a certain area/population.
Following is the list of airports located in affected areas with high risk of transmission of the Covid-19 infection, according to EASA.
