Today, Korean Air formalized an agreement to enhance its air cargo partnership with Vienna International Airport. This collaboration is strategically aimed at meeting the rising demand for air cargo services between Korea and Austria. By utilizing Vienna International Airport as a key hub, both entities seek to attract more air cargo traffic through collaborative marketing efforts targeted at freight forwarders and clientele. Korean Air pledges to provide valuable market insights and industry expertise to Vienna International Airport, ensuring tailored services for customers.

Situated at the crossroads of Europe and historically renowned for its role in connecting Eastern and Western Europe, Austria holds significant importance as a gateway to neighboring countries such as Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. With sustained investments from Korean manufacturing companies in the region, Korean Air foresees a notable uptick in air cargo demand in the foreseeable future.

“We are pleased to announce our collaboration with Vienna International Airport. Korean Air is fully committed to enhancing air cargo services and ensuring utmost customer satisfaction between Korea and Vienna with this agreement,” said Jaedong Eum, Senior Vice President and Head of Cargo Business Division at Korean Air.

“The neighboring countries of Austria and Asia have been economic regions that have been closely linked through international air cargo traffic for many years. Especially in the automotive and electronics sectors, Asian companies rely on the manufacturing capacities in the eastern European region. Korean Air is an important air cargo partner since 20 years and I am pleased that we can now further expand our long-standing partnership in the cargo sector with this agreement,” said Julian Jäger, Joint CEO and COO of Vienna Airport (Flughafen Wien AG).
