After the sister company Eurowings carried out a vaccination campaign in the Airbus A319 in Salzburg, Austrian Airlines is now following suit in Vienna and will be offering Biontech / Pfizer vaccinations in a Boeing 777 on Saturday.

“Out of responsibility towards our homeland, we want to make a contribution to combating the pandemic. Because we can only fly out of the health crisis together. I am very happy that Vienna Airport and the Lower Austria Red Cross were on board right away and that we were able to get the vaccination off the ground within a few hours. Quick, decisive action for the health of all of us is now more important than ever, because the current Corona figures are alarming, ”explains AUA General Director Alexis von Hoensbroech in a media release.

Check-in for the vaccination appointment takes place in the visitor world of Vienna Airport in the visitor world terminal behind Terminal 1.
