Austrian Airlines welcomes the opening of the United States of America to fully vaccinated people. The carrier offers 16 round trips to two US cities.

“We welcome the decision of the American government. After more than 20 months, the opening to fully vaccinated EU travelers is an important step towards restoring global freedom of travel, ”said Austrian Airlines Chief Sales Officer Michael Trestl. “At the same time, the lifting of the entry ban will give aviation an important boost in transatlantic air traffic and thus the possibility of returning to an offer at pre-crisis level”.

On request, a spokeswoman told Aviation Direct: “With two airports in New York, Washington and Chicago, Austrian Airlines will be offering a flight offer with 16 weekly connections between the Vienna hub and the USA in November. The demand is continuously evaluated and the offer can be expanded if necessary. "
