Derry City and Strabane District Council is to ask the Northern Ireland Executive to reconsider the decision not to close airports in Northern Ireland.
Air routes between Britain and the Republic of Ireland were closed down earlier this month following a sharp rise in the number of coronavirus in England in particular.
However, airports in Northern Ireland, including City of Derry Airport, which is owned by the local council, remained open.
