For the first time, you can get vaccinated in an airplane and take a look into the cockpit and talk to a Eurowings pilot.
Salzburg – This is a European premiere! For the first time you can feel in one plane Get vaccinated and take a look behind the scenes.
In Austria, the Lufthansa subsidiary Eurowings will make this possible next Tuesday from 10.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m.
The airline parks an Airbus A319 at Salzburg Airport and invites you to be vaccinated against Corona. If you feel like it, you can also take a look into the cockpit afterwards and talk to pilot Bernhard Dallner and his crew.
However, the pikes are not carried out by the airline’s stewardesses, but by the Austrian Red Cross.

Otherwise the whole thing runs like a normal flight, as the airport explains: “Simply check in at the check-in for the ‘stitch in flight’, through the security check to the gate and then it is only a few steps into the Eurowings plane “”, Said an airport spokesman.
Before and after the vaccination, the vaccinated people take a seat in the Airbus. There are no boarding passes – and with it the free choice between window and aisle seat.
Robert Jahn, is pleased at Eurowings Europe that travel is becoming more and more possible again and the airline is looking for a part in this way: “Managing directors can die like hardly any other industry, safe travel is also possible in times of pandemics If vaccination progress plays a key role here, we are the first airline in Europe to transform a Eurowings Airbus into a vaccination station for one day. “
When you “check-in” at the airport counter when and who want to be vaccinated, the electronic insurance card, their ID and a Education and documentation form bring along. The latter is also available to fill out on site.
“We are happy to support every offensive by the State of Salzburg when it comes to immunizing our population against Corona,” explains Bettina Ganghofer (58), the managing director of Salzburg Airport.
Ganghofer assumes that the Covid-19 vaccination for travel without borders will be “indispensable”. With the special immunization campaign, the airport, the airline and the Red Cross are making a physical contribution to this.
