The airline Korean Air has been back at Vienna International Airport with scheduled flights since July 1, 2022. After a long Corona break, in which almost exclusively cargo connections were offered between South Korea and Austria, regular flights are again being carried out with passengers.

At the same time, apart from the interruption caused by the pandemic, a small anniversary is also being celebrated: the company has been on the Seoul-Vienna route for 15 years. The first flight was carried out on March 28, 2007.

"After the pandemic-related disruption, the Asian market is slowly coming back and I am pleased that Korean Air is now resuming its regular Seoul-Vienna service. We have a long-standing partnership with Korean Air in the passenger and freight sectors. The airline has had a presence at Vienna Airport since the 1990s and has been coming to Vienna regularly since 2007. Since then, Korean Air has developed very well at the location and established itself as an important airline partner for business and tourism in both countries," says Julian Jäger, CEO of Flughafen Wien AG.

Three times a week Seoul-Vienna

After the corona-related break, Korean Air is now resuming its regular flight connections to Vienna: The airline is now flying from Seoul to Vienna three times a week - Wednesday, Friday and Sunday - with Airbus 330-200 and Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. Korean Air and Vienna Airport can already look back on a long history together: from June 1990 to August 1992, the airline operated the Vienna-Seoul route once a week and since 2004 Korean Air has been coming to Vienna with regular cargo flights. Since March 28, 2007 - i.e. for 15 years - the airline has been coming to Vienna continuously, with the exception of the interruption in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic.
