Starting at the end of March 2020, Austrian Airlines will offer flights from Vienna to Boston. Travel time to Boston at a distance of 6,500 kilometers from Vienna is about nine hours. Austria’s home carrier will initially operate four weekly flights to the American metropolis on the East Coast and increase frequencies to six flights per week as of mid-April (Daily except on Mondays). Austrian Airlines will deploy a Boeing 767.
“Boston is a city with great historical significance, just like Vienna”, says Austrian Airlines CCO Andreas Otto. “The city is also worth a trip from a business standpoint, not least because Boston is home to two of the world’s best universities, namely Harvard and MIT.”
Because of the high level of demand, Austrian Airlines will consistently deploy a Boeing 777 on this route as of the end of March 2020. Up until now a Boeing 767 was used on two of the seven weekly flights. Capacity on this route will be significantly increased as a result of this change.
