At the same time that this was happening in Crete, all passengers on TUIfly Nordic's Flight 463, which had departed from Arlanda Airport in Stockholm, were being checked at Rhodes Airport as it came from a country whose theoretical epidemiological profile did not allow flights "for non-essential reasons ”(ie tourism is not considered an essential reason). While the rest of the flights from Sweden were canceled, including Tui Apollo's competitor to Chania, the flight to Rhodes was made because journalists had boarded it.

According to information from "K", TUI asked for the flight to take place because it was not able to cancel???????????? it at the last minute. Greek officials are reportedly quoted by Swedish Foreign Ministry sources as saying that the country "would open its doors on July 1". The passengers of the plane, journalists and customers of TUI, ended up in a hotel in Rhodes that belongs to the chain.

However, it was the second Swedish aircraft to be allowed to land in our country in recent days. On Tuesday, July 1, the SAS SK 1833 flight from Arlanda (Stockholm) arrived 5 hours late at "Eleftherios Venizelos" because it could not be canceled??????????. The passengers were all checked, although they did not have a code. Among them were 180 Greeks.
