(Yicai Global) Sept. 10 -- Central China's Wuhan, once the epicenter of the Covid-19 pandemic, will resume international flights on Sept. 16 amid easing outbreaks.

South Korea's T'way Air will operate the first flight that goes to Seoul, Chutian Metropolis Daily reported yesterday.

Airlines have applied to reopen routes to other Asian cities such as Bangkok, Tokyo and Singapore, according to local officials.

All travelers coming from abroad are still required to take a Covid-19 test, and to be quarantined for 14 days upon arriving, as required by local authorities.

Wuhan Tianhe International Airport resumed domestic flights in early April and by now, domestic traffic has rebounded to a level of 90 percent in comparison to that of a year ago.
