Air #Albania cancels 6 flights to and from #Italy due to #coronavirus outbreak - READ MORE ➡️ bit.ly/2W0XwWZ 
There are other air carriers connecting #Albania and #Italy, but so far no other airlines have cancelled their flights due to the #coronavirus outbreak. @Alitalia’s #Tirana- #Rome #Fiumicino AZ585, left Albania’s capital as planned on Sunday.
#Italy has placed up to 16 million people under quarantine as it battles to contain the spread of #coronavirus. Anyone living in #Lombardy and 14 other central and northern provinces will need special permission to #travel.
Under the new measures taken by #Italy to contain #coronavirus outbreak, people are not supposed to be able to enter or leave the whole northern region of #Lombardy, home to 10 million people, except for emergency access. #Milan is the main city in the region.
#Italy, #coronavirus: However #transport in and out of the regions affected continues. At least seven #flights from other European cities arrived at #Milan's #Malpensa airport on Sunday morning according to flight tracking websites, while some others were cancelled.
UPDATE: Sources tell media that the cancellations are due to "operational issues", but there is no official statement from @airalbania1 #Tirana #Albania #Italy #coronavirus
Update: #Albania’s Civil Aviation Authority officially informed me that Air Albania fights on Sunday were cancelled due to operational reasons and NOT due to the #coronavirus outbreak in #Italy. Still no official announcement from Air Albania
