Check-in currently takes place in Terminals 1 and 3; FFP2 masks are mandatory for all passengers and employees in the entire terminal area.

From December 20, 2021, passengers entering Austria must present proof of 2G (vaccinated or recovered). In addition, a valid PCR test (72 hours) must be presented if no booster vaccination can yet be proven. If an additional PCR test or the booster vaccination cannot be proven, an immediate home quarantine has to be started after entry. This is only terminated when a PCR test has been made after entry and a negative result has been confirmed. In this case a registration by Pre-Travel-Clearance (https://entry.ptc.gv.at/) is obligatory. Pregnant women and persons who cannot be vaccinated for health reasons and school-age children are exempt from the requirement of a 2-G proof as well as the additional PCR test or the booster vaccination.
