Austrian Airlines completely stops its scheduled flight operations on 20 March 2020. Its last scheduled flight arrives in Vienna from Chicago in the morning of 19 March 2020.

According to Austrian Airlines,  its outbound scheduled flights from Vienna will be halted gradually from 18 March 2020, owing to the spread of the covid pandemic in the world forcing numerous countries to close their borders. The flights will be cancelled until 28 March 2020, subject to changes in market demand.

In the coming days, Austrian Airlines will evacuate Austrians from other covid-affected countries and "rely upon the offering of the Lufthansa Group" for re-booking passengers.

Austrian Airlines stays positive about its relaunch after the pandemic is over. CEO Alexis von Hoensbroech explains, "This is not a 'goodbye'. The airline is taking a flexible approach towards restarting the business so that we can be ready to go as soon as possible once demand recovers."
