Efforts to revive the hub include pursuing more green lane arrangements and negotiating air travel bubbles with countries that have low COVID-19 infection rates.
However, there is a need to "manage expectations", he said in a ministerial statement in Parliament.
“For members who are hoping that I’m about to announce some air travel resumption and even possible December holiday destinations, I am sorry I will disappoint you.
"We have gone through quite a bit, including a painful circuit breaker, to arrive at the stable situation we have today. And we must not give that up,” he said.
