Jet2 has cancelled flights to Austria after the country entered lockdown due to an increase in Covid cases.
The airline has scrapped all holidays for passengers travelling between November 22 and December 1, 2021.
The tour operator issued the following statement: “Due to the Austrian government imposing a national lockdown, we have taken the decision to suspend flights and holidays to Vienna up to and including December 1.
“Where customers are affected by any programme changes, we have been repeatedly recognised by independent travel agents for how we have handled this, and all affected trade bookings will be cancelled with a relevant refund.
“For bookings due to travel to Vienna after December 1, we will provide a further update ahead of then."
Capital city Vienna is a popular destination for Christmas markets and city breaks. Jet2 also flies to Salzburg for ski trips.
It comes after Austria was plunged into lockdown, with strict restrictions enforced to keep the country and tourists safe over winter.
The restrictions will remain in force until next month, with people told to work from home and only to leave the house for essential purposes.
Restaurants, bars, hairdressers, theatres and non-essential shops must all shut. The covid lockdown is in place for 10 days but might be extended.
