Birmingham Airport expands services with new route to Vienna

Birmingham Airport has boosted its links with Austria after signing a new agreement with German low-cost airline, Eurowings, to launch a new service to capital city Vienna.

The six times weekly service will start on March 26 and is in addition to Eurowings’ current programme to Dusseldorf and Hamburg.
 
Eurowings, part of the Lufthansa Group, said the new service was part of its plan to expand services at Birmingham. It will operate the service with an Airbus A320 aircraft configured to 180 seats.
 
William Pearson, aviation director for Birmingham Airport, said: “Eurowings is an important partner of Birmingham Airport as it already serves two routes to Dusseldorf and Hamburg which are hugely important to the Midlands Engine and the region’s leisure market.

“We’re therefore very pleased that the airline will be launching a brand new route from Birmingham to Vienna this summer and I’m sure that it will be welcomed by customers looking for somewhere exciting to explore for leisure, as well as offering a convenient schedule for passengers travelling on business.”

Eurowings is headquartered in Cologne and serves a network of domestic and European destinations as well as some long-haul routes.

Ivan Orec, manager network development & airport relations for Eurowings, said: “We are pleased to announce a new Birmingham link to Vienna. The new route will operate six times a week, in addition to our 18 weekly services to Düsseldorf and three weekly services to Hamburg.”

The Vienna service schedule is:  
Monday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday
Arrive from Vienna 1845 / Depart Birmingham at 1930
Tuesday
Arrive from Vienna 1905 / Depart Birmingham at 1945
Sunday
Arrive from Vienna 1430 / Depart Birmingham at 1510
