On Saturday, December 21, 2024, Austrian Airlines opened this year's winter flight connections between Hamburg and Klagenfurt with a punctual landing of an Embraer 195. The fully occupied aircraft brought over 100 passengers to Carinthia in southern Austria, marking the start of a seasonal flight route that has enjoyed great popularity for the second year in a row.
The new non-stop connection between Hamburg and Klagenfurt will be offered every Saturday until March 22, 2025. With a flight time of just over an hour, it offers a fast and comfortable way to travel from the Hanseatic city directly to the Alpine region of Carinthia.
Maximilian Wildt, Managing Director of Klagenfurt Airport, emphasized the importance of this route: "The continuation and expansion of this connection shows Austrian Airlines' trust in the region and the Carinthian market. It is an important connection for incoming tourist traffic to Carinthia, but also offers our local travelers ideal opportunities for city trips."
The Hamburg-Klagenfurt connection starts strategically before Christmas and covers both the German Christmas holidays and the highly popular Hamburg winter holidays. In addition to tourists from northern Germany, Carinthian travelers also benefit from the direct connection to one of Germany's most famous cities. In addition, Austrian Airlines is expanding its accessibility to worldwide destinations with daily connections via Vienna.
