Austrian Airlines has announced plans to increase its flights to Los Angeles to a daily service this summer. The airline will operate the route from Vienna using its Boeing 777-200ER, the largest aircraft in its fleet. This decision comes amid rising demand for transatlantic travel, with airlines on both sides of the Atlantic adding new routes.
Starting April 29, 2025, Austrian Airlines will fly daily between Vienna International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport until October 12, 2025. Cirium, an aviation data analytics provider, confirmed that only two frequencies will be flown in April due to the late start date. However, daily flights are scheduled for May through September.
The airline last operated this route on a daily basis in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic affected global travel patterns. "This route exemplifies the current popularity of transatlantic travel," according to Austrian Airlines.
