Very true!
All used Munich for the Tyrol.

Was it British Eagle that was maybe the last of the Innsbruck users, summer 1968?
Who started INN back up again?
Was it Invicta from LTN with Vanguards?

No one then was using Salzburg ether.
When I was at Northeast in the mid 1970's our LHR Trident Swans Tours charters for Austria went to Munich for the Tyrol, and Zurich for the Vorarlberg region.

Also Thomson had just started to number their BY flights with the same number for both out and home, but just adding A for out, and B for home.
