Qatar Airways to Upgrade Vienna Services

Qatar Airways will be upgrading services on its Vienna route with the introduction of an Airbus A330 aircraft.

The upgrade from an A320 to the A330 aircraft will commence on 1 September 2014.

The switch from the A320 to an A330 will increase the total number of weekly seats servicing the route to 336 Business Class seats and 3,304 Economy Class seats, resulting in an increase of 168 and 1,624 seats respectively.

Qatar Airways Country Manager Germany & Austria, Mr. Günter Saurwein said, “We recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of our first flight to Vienna; a milestone which is a testament to our commitment to not only the city, but to our customers as well. We are extremely pleased that we are now able to offer an increase in capacity by introducing the A330 to the route in order to help meet the growing needs of our passengers. It has been a pleasure to work with Vienna Airport in developing this route over the last decade and we look forward to many more successful years working together.”

Vienna Airport Board Member, Mr. Julian Jäger added: “Our cooperation with Qatar Airways has worked well for many years, and we see the sound development of traffic on this route as a very positive factor. We therefore welcome the changeover to a larger aircraft and the resulting expansion of capacity on these flights. This will further enhance the role of Vienna Airport as a gateway to the Middle East.”
