Korean Air to strengthen air cargo partnership with Vienna International Airport.

Korean Air signed an agreement to strengthen air cargo partnership with Vienna International Airport on 21 February 2024.

The partnership aims to capture growing air cargo demand between Korea and Austria, and leverage Vienna International Airport as a major hub to attract greater air cargo demand through joint marketing initiatives targeted at forwarders and customers. Korean Air will share market and industry insight with Vienna International Airport to render relevant services to customers.

Located in the heart of Europe and with a history of bridging East and West Europe, Austria serves as a pivotal gateway to surrounding nations like Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. With continued Korean manufacturing investments in the area, the airline anticipates increased air cargo demand in the years to come.
