From September 19, 2022, the Lufthansa subsidiary Eurowings wants to fly between Stuttgart and Graz again. This route has repeatedly been temporarily suspended since the beginning of the corona pandemic. Last few weeks ago.
The non-stop connection between the two cities was once an Austrian Airlines route served by de Havilland Dash 8-400. In the course of reallocations within the Lufthansa Group, this – together with Düsseldorf-Linz – was handed over to the sister company Eurowings. The carrier temporarily stopped the Graz route a few weeks ago.
Originally, Eurowings announced that the resumption should take place in October 2022. However, due to increased demand, it was decided to fly again from September 19, 2022. The flights are offered once a day on the traffic days Monday to Friday.
Salzburg: British Airways flies to Gatwick up to 13 times a week
There is also little news in Salzburg, because British Airways wants to serve the London-Gatwick route from October 31, 2022 with up to 13 rotations per week. The actual frequencies vary greatly and are highest in the peak skiing season. This is due to the fact that Salzburg is a popular destination for British winter sports enthusiasts.
In addition to Innsbruck, the airport in the city of Mozart is one of two in Austria that generate the majority of their passenger volume and thus their annual turnover during the cold season. Both airports are traditionally very popular with skiers and snowboarders due to the nearby winter sports areas.
