Finally, the CAA announced that between Thursday, July 16, and Monday, August 31, the mandatory Passenger Locator Form (PLF) for all passengers on international flights to Greece can be completed at the electronic address https://travel.gov.gr/ up to one day before arrival. Passengers should note that before airlines can accept passengers for boarding they are required to check: a) the PLF submission confirmation at least a day before the flight, which is a mandatory travel document, and b) that the QR code corresponds to the PLF. Airlines that fail to comply with the requirement to check these documents will be responsible for repatriating the passengers at their own expense.
