In contrast to Germany and Austria, Luxembourg will implement the recommendations of the European Union regarding the abolition of the mask requirement. As a result, mouth and nose protection will no longer have to be worn on flights to/from Luxembourg from Monday.

Homebase carrier Luxair has already announced that it will no longer be required to wear masks from Monday. The company said: "Since air traffic in Luxembourg is not subject to the regulations applicable to public transport, Luxair, as a private company, must first and foremost comply with the international air traffic regulations issued by the competent authorities. The airline can therefore take the necessary measures by authorizing the mask lifting for all its flights to Luxembourg and depending on the destination served, in line with Easa's recommendations".

However, it may be necessary to wear masks if the destination country explicitly requires this by means of a notam. Specifically, this means that there will be no changes to connections from/to Austria and/or Germany. The Alpine republic is the only country in the world to insist on FFP2 masks and don't even think about the FFP2 obligation on board commercial aircraft at the moment, other public transport and public transport. Within the European Union, people are increasingly alone with the "Austrian way". In everyday life, many arriving passengers stop no longer subject to the FFP2 mask requirement at Vienna Airport and also on board flights it is becoming "illegal" increasingly maskless.
