I went back and read the guidance from the EU and it is my view that it is an extraordinary circumstance even if the borders are still open because it is a mass restriction on people travelling. Therefore airlines will be able to cancel or amend their schedules without having to pay compensation. However they will still have to refund for cancelled flights.
