Austrian Airlines and ÖBB broaden their services, now including destinations from Klagenfurt
Klagenfurt is set to become a new destination in the joint "AIRail" offer by Austrian Airlines and the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), starting from December 14, 2023. This expansion is made possible by the commissioning of the Koralmbahn, a railway line connecting Klagenfurt with Vienna Airport.
The Koralmbahn, which has been section by section operational since December 2010 and is planned to offer full scheduled service by December 2025, will enable passengers to travel from Klagenfurt Hauptbahnhof to Vienna Airport without transfers. Seven direct trains will run daily at a two-hour interval, significantly reducing the total travel time to just under four hours.
This new "AIRail" offer from Klagenfurt is part of a larger network that includes cities like Linz, Graz, Salzburg, and Innsbruck. With this offer, passengers can access over 125 destinations in the Austrian Airlines network with a single ticket for train and flight.
The "AIRail" offer between ÖBB and Austrian Airlines has existed for eleven years, connecting several cities with Vienna-Schwechat Airport. The introduction of Klagenfurt as a new destination is expected to boost tourism and travel opportunities in the region.
Passengers can book the Klagenfurt-Flughafen Wien route via the Austrian Airlines website or any travel agency from October. The new service is expected to provide a convenient and efficient travel option for those looking to travel between Klagenfurt and Vienna Airport.
The Koralmbahn project has facilitated the expansion of Austrian Airlines and ÖBB's "AIRail" offer to Klagenfurt. The commissioning of the Koralmbahn has enabled the creation of a new railway line between Klagenfurt and Vienna Airport, making travel between the two locations more accessible than ever before.
In summary, the expansion of the "AIRail" offer to Klagenfurt is a significant development for travel in the region. With the commissioning of the Koralmbahn, passengers can now travel directly from Klagenfurt to Vienna Airport with ease, opening up new opportunities for tourism and travel.
