Strong summer flight schedule at Vienna Airport: 190 destinations to choose from - More flights to Europe, sunny destinations on the Mediterranean and long-haul routes continue to grow
The new summer flight schedule will soon take effect at Vienna Airport. Travellers can
choose among a large number of European and Mediterranean destinations, and longhaul flights are also staging a comeback. Austrian Airlines is offering flight service to
124 destinations, including new ones such as Porto, Marseille, Billund, Tivat and is once
again flying non-stop to Los Angeles and Tokyo. Ryanair has added Helsinki,
Copenhagen and Tuzla to its flight offering from Vienna for the first time. A total of 39
destinations including new ones such as Bilbao, Kuwait City and Hurghada can now be
reached with Wizz Air, and the airline will station a sixth aircraft in Vienna starting in
mid-June. Air India has resumed flight service to Delhi and Air Canada, Air China, China

new carrier, namely Azerbaijan Airlines, will be offering flights from Vienna, and Air
Algerie and Condor are represented at Vienna Airport once again. The 2023 summer
flight schedule is valid from 26 March to 20 October 2023.
“People want to travel and there is plenty of opportunity at Vienna Airport to do so: 190
destinations, new airlines and long-haul is picking up again. In the summer months, the seating capacities offered will equal about 90% of the pre-crisis level. High quality service is also a top priority this summer. We want to continue to be among the best when it comes to the most punctual flight hubs in Europe. For this reason, we are hiring 350 additional employees for passenger-related services. In 2022 we were the third most punctual and in January even the second-best hub in Europe. We would like to defend this position in the future as well,” states Julian Jäger, Joint CEO and COO of Vienna Airport.
