Strengthening links with Vienna

Edinburgh Airport has announced Austrian Airlines will operate new direct flights to Vienna, for the first time, next summer. 

The airline will touch down at Scotland’s busiest airport, part of the VINCI Airports network, to operate three services each week to the Austrian city, further strengthening the links between two of Europe’s iconic capitals.

Flights will depart on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays on an Airbus A320 aircraft, with services running from June to September.

The new route opens Edinburgh up to even more visitors, while giving people across Scotland and beyond another connection to Vienna. It also means all Lufthansa hubs are now served by the airline group from Edinburgh, enhancing connectivity across the globe.

This is a welcome new seasonal addition to Scotland’s growing air route network, making it easier for Austrian visitors to travel to Edinburgh and enjoy all Scotland has to offer.

New routes and increased capacity are crucially important if we are to build on Scotland’s international success, which is outpacing pre-pandemic levels and other parts of the UK.
