In a statement, Vienna Airport said: “In this way, flights are now safer and easier, regardless of whether they involve business trips or urgent trips with on-demand aircraft within the context of general aviation, in particular if they last no more than four days, as well as arrivals and departures on scheduled flights from and to currently available destinations and via the General Aviation Center.”

The airport currently serves flights to Doha, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Lisbon, Minsk and Sofia.

Vienna Airport has mandated all employees and passengers to wear protective face masks in the terminal area.

The airport has installed plexiglass social distancing shields at the check-in, boarding and information desks.

Additionally, the boarding areas have distance markings to ensure social distancing.  Hand disinfection stands are also present in the terminal.

The number of passengers boarding each bus will be limited to increase the safety of the passengers.
