The buffet in the Sky Lounge operated by Flughafen Wien AG will be open again on Wednesday. The usual catering and drinks will be offered again. Airport lounges in Austria are subject to the rules for gastronomy.

According to an airport spokesman, this means that the vaccination, test or immunization certificate is checked in the entrance area. “Afterwards, passengers can freely use the lounge to linger and eat. The maximum occupancy for seating (four people) is checked and, in accordance with the distance rule, individual seating is blocked (two meters away from the tables) ”, Peter Kleemann, media officer at Flughafen Wien AG, told Aviation Direct.

Due to the closure of the catering trade ordered by the federal government, the buffet had to be closed for around six months. A snack package was only allowed to be given when leaving the lounge. That also applied to Austrian Airlines. It will also be in this lounge Regular catering will be available again from Wednesday.

A major change concerns the origin of the food. Flughafen Wien AG no longer serves Do & Co, but the competitor Donhauser. Thus, in the future, all lounges will be supplied by DoN. At the moment, only the exclusive waiting areas of Austrian Airlines and the Sky Lounge in the immediate vicinity are available in Vienna-Schwechat. All others remain closed indefinitely.
