“The summer is the time to travel.

Short- and medium-haul flights to numerous popular and classical holiday destinations within Europe and to the Mediterranean are being offered. A good international accessibility is important to the entire business and tourism location of Austria. In the summer of 2024, 60 airlines will operate flights from Vienna Airport to 190 destinations in 67 countries across the globe,” states Mag. Julian Jäger, Joint CEO and COO of Vienna Airport.

Additionally, travelers have access to an extensive selection of long-haul destinations, with seasonal direct flights to Los Angeles and Tokyo, alongside year-round services to cities including Chicago, New York, Washington, Montreal, Shanghai, and Bangkok.
