Etihad Airways to Launch Daily Flights to Vienna, Austria

Etihad Airways has unveiled plans to launch new daily scheduled year-round flights to Austria’s capital Vienna.

The airline will operate the route with two-class Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft configured with 28 Business Studios and 262 Economy Smart Seats.

The service will initially operate with four flights per week between 22 May and 30 June 2020.

Departures have been timed to arrive early morning in Vienna, and to connect seamlessly in both directions via Abu Dhabi to gateways across the Etihad network including the GCC, Southeast Asia, and Australia.

Robin Kamark, Chief Commercial Officer, Etihad Aviation Group, said, “Vienna is the largest unserved market from Abu Dhabi and the announcement of this route brings the number of our European passenger destinations to 22. Austria is an important trade and tourism partner for the UAE and the new flights will enable us to take advantage of the increasing business and leisure demand between the two countries.”

“Trade between the UAE and Austria is strong and there are approximately 180 Austrian companies operating in the emirates. Tourism has been increasing in both directions with Austria becoming an increasingly popular year-round destination with UAE nationals and residents, attracted by the centuries old culture, breathtaking scenery, and famous ski resorts. Vienna itself has been consistently voted the world’s most liveable city. We are delighted to be initiating a direct service between both capitals in time for the summer,” added Mr. Kamark.

The introduction of the widebody aircraft on the route will provide Etihad with opportunities for belly-hold cargo between Abu Dhabi and Vienna, and onwards across the Etihad Cargo network.
