NEW flights to Vienna from Liverpool John Lennon Aiport (LJLA) have been announced today.

Austrian airline Laudamotion have revealed plans to begin a twice weekly service to Vienna from the airport starting on October 28.

The flights will operate on Mondays and Fridays using Airbus A320.

Paul Winfield, director of aviation development for LJLA, said: “For Laudamotion to choose Liverpool to be their first UK regional airport to operate from, is a tremendous achievement for the Airport and shows how attractive operating from here is becoming for some of Europe’s top airline’s.

"Vienna is another new destination to be served from Liverpool and we expect this to be popular with both the leisure traveller and the region’s business community.”

This will be the first scheduled service to Vienna and is the latest destination to be served direct from Liverpool.

Andreas Gruber, managing director of Laudamotion said: “Our routes work because we have the right offer for price-sensitive customers.

"In particular, with our new City Shuttle routes, I'm sure to increase the traffic with our new non-stop service to and from Vienna.”
