Those in charge of the national airline are in close contact with the Luxembourgish authorities. As soon as there are official travel warnings, air travel will be adapted accordingly.

In terms of Italy, which is currently a red zone, one last flight departed towards Milan on Thursday, and one more plane is leaving Rome to bring passengers back home to Luxembourg on Sunday. With the way things currently stand, it is looking like no more Luxair flights will be operating Italy routes until 3. April. Luxair customers who have booked flights from Italy departing after Sunday will be reimbursed and have to find an alternative way to Luxembourg.

Following the announcement of Denmark's border closures, one flight each will depart Sunday and Monday towards Copenhagen. Further decisions will be made Monday, according how to the situation will evolve.

Generally speaking, those who have booked Luxair tickets to travel between 16 and 31 March, will be able to change their dates free of charge. As for Luxair-Tours, due to local restrictions, empty planes headed towards Djerba and Agadir in order to bring customers back to Luxembourg. All LuxairTours flights up until 30. April for now can be changed up to 14 days prior to the departure date.

The current circumstances in the aviation industry are said to be worse than following the 9/11 attacks.
