Vienna Airport is solidifying its position as a key cargo hub for Asian markets through strategic collaborations with Incheon Airport in South Korea and Korean Air. These agreements, recently finalized during a visit to Seoul, aim to bolster air cargo capacities between Europe and Asia to meet rising demand.

Julian Jäger, Joint CEO and COO of Flughafen Wien AG, expressed optimism about the enhanced partnership with Korean Air and Incheon Airport, highlighting the potential for Vienna Airport to become the premier air cargo gateway to Asia. He emphasized the importance of infrastructure expansion to accommodate the growing demand for air transport services.
