Flying to Austria

Enjoy Austrian hospitality and award-winning service already on board. Fly from numerous cities around the world, direct to Vienna with Austrian Airlines.

Austrian Airlines is Austria’s largest carrier and operates a global route network of round 130 destinations and 360 flights per day. The route network is particularly dense in Central and Eastern Europe with 40 destinations. Thanks to its favourable geographical location at the heart of Europe, the company’s hub at Vienna International Airport is the ideal gateway between East and West. Austrian Airlines is part of the Lufthansa Group, Europe’s largest airline group, and a member of the Star Alliance, the first global alliance of international airlines.

With an average direct flying time of only 2 hours from most major UK gateways to popular Austrian destinations, flights to Austria are probably the quickest, most accessible, and most affordable travel option.
