Jet2 has cancelled a whole host of flights from the UK to Austria after it was plunged into a national lockdown.
Capital city Vienna is a popular destination for Christmas markets and city breaks but now strict restrictions have been enforced across Austria in order to keep the country and tourists safe over winter.
The restrictions will remain in force until next month, with people in Austria told to work from home and only to leave the house for essential purposes.
As a result budget holiday operator Jet2 has scrapped all holidays for passengers travelling between November 22 and December 1, 2021 - and have warned that 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."
