This is very pleasing and a small but important step towards overcoming this crisis, which is unique in global aviation history," said Julian Jäger, CEO of Flughafen Wien AG.

In addition, Aegean, Air France, Brussels, Croatia Airlines, Ethiopian, Emirates, Luxair, Pegasus Airlines, Peoples, Sunexpress, Tarom and Turkish Airlines will start passenger flights to and from Vienna this month. Other scheduled flights will be resumed by Lufthansa, Eurowings, Qatar and KLM, airlines that have already flown continuously throughout the crisis, and Air Baltic, Air Serbia, Bulgaria Air, Swiss and Wizz Air will also be expanding their flight offerings.
