We finally meet again! As of June 21, Austria lifted border restrictions for arrivals from 32 countries!

Entry by air is prohibited to third-country nationals from states outside the Schengen area.
The mouth and nose protector must only be worn in public transport, supermarkets, health care and services where the one-metre distance cannot be maintained and by August 1st indoor events up to 500 participants will be allowed. Hotels, museums and restaurants are open.
The business magazine “Forbes” has also published a list of the World’s 100 safest countries in terms of Covid-19. Austria ranks sixth among the top 10.
Vienna Airport has been selected by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) as a test airport for developing international standards for COVID19 safety measures in aviation. Numerous measures which have already been successfully implemented in Vienna and new findings from practical operations will be incorporated into European future regulations.
