Because FPÖ MP Peter Wurm did not want to wear a mask on an AUA flight, a flight attendant raised the alarm. After landing in Vienna-Schwechat, the police were already waiting for the politician.

The member of the Tyrolean FPÖ of the National Council, Peter Wurm, was received by the police after an AUA plane landed in Vienna-Schwechat. As the online “Kronen Zeitung” reported on Wednesday and Wurm himself described it in an online video, it was preceded by a dispute with a flight attendant over the onboard mask requirement.

The stewardess raised the alarm while she was still in the air.

Wurm describes in a “FPÖ-TV” video that he removed the protection from his mouth and nose to drink from a water bottle, which led to an argument. The stewardess raised the alarm while in the air and after landing, three patrols waited on the runway.

The police officers, who were “very right,” questioned him on the plane and then asked him to go to the runway, Wurm said. There he described the matter again. He also took photos to document the use of the mask on board. In any case, you will now complain to the WUA.

Wurm went unnoticed throughout the flight.

AUA spokeswoman Tanja Gruber told “Krone” that the obligation to carry a mask on board is anchored in the transport conditions. With the purchase of a ticket you commit to it. You don’t need a mask and nasal protection just with a medical certificate or a negative corona test. According to reports, there were repeated problems with the passenger during the flight because the mask was not used correctly.
