A whole host of flights to Austria have been scrapped by Jet2 after the popular winter holiday destination entered a national lockdown due to a rise in covid cases.
Austria is a popular location for Christmas markets and skiing - making it an ideal place to travel to in winter - however strict restrictions have been reintroduced to in order to keep the country and tourists safe over winter.
Restaurants, bars, hairdressers, theatres and non-essential shops must all shut during the 10 day lockdown but it might be extended following a review of the number of coronavirus cases in Austria.
The budget airline has cancelled all holidays for passengers travelling between November 22 and December 1, 2021 - and there may be more cancellations to come.
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."
