Is Austria Closing Up to Brits

That sounds like a dubious and made-up figure. I doubt this could be substantiated, especially given everyone on that plane has had a negative test and is vaccinated already (kids aside).

According to the Austrian press the UK, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands will likely be classified as virus variant areas from Friday. This means that people traveling form those countries will be subject to a mandatory ten-day quarantine, which can be shortened to 5 days with a negative test. It is estimated that British aircraft are bringing in 15 new cases per day, which then travel directly to the ski resorts.

And they think they don't already have it? All this uncertainty will affect trade but whether countries can afford to furlough again is another thing.

Maybe, the figure was put out by Ulrich Elling from the Institute of Molecular Biology in Vienna https://www.oeaw.ac.at/imba/research/ulrich-elling
The tightening of the entry regulations was first reported in the Tiroler Tageszeitung https://www.tt.com/artikel/30808894/einreise-aus-grossbritannien-niederlande-und-co-ab-freitag-deutlich-erschwert (paywalled) According to the report, the ordinance will be issued today and will apply from 24 December.

I have given up trying to be optimistic and I guess the priority will be to protect sales to their biggest market, Germany, so expect the news will be bad. However, in normal times I would have been slightly sceptical, having not seen the original report, because all the rumour so far appears to be coming from a single leaked source so far as we can tell? Although the detail they seem to have seems to imply strong inside knowledge.

Wait & See, often people think Austria follows Germany but the Austrian booster programme is well ahead.

Info just starting to come out - so far seems if you are fully vaccinated and have had booster you can still enter with recent negative PCR test. Looks like quarantine required if you haven't had booster.
