Innsbruck Airport is pleased that Austrian Airlines will reactivate the connection to the Lufthansa hub in Frankfurt am Main on Monday, June 28, 2021. Airport manager Marco Pernetta hopes that demand on long-haul routes will soon recover.

“We are pleased to be able to offer the route between Innsbruck and Frankfurt again together with Lufthansa. Western Austria is thus connected to Europe and the rest of the world via the Frankfurt hub, ”says Austrian Airlines Chief Sales Officer Michael Trestl.

From June 28 to the end of July, Austrian Airlines will initially be offering three weekly connections (Monday, Friday and Saturday) to Frankfurt. From August 01st until the general renovation of the runway and the associated airport closure from September 20th to October 18th, four weekly rotations (Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday) will be carried out. The route is served with the Embraer 195 machine.

“This is an important signal that aviation is cautiously recovering. The Innsbruck-Frankfurt route is of great importance for the entire region, ”says Innsbruck Airport Manager Marco Pernetta. "At the moment, long-distance flights hardly play a role due to the pandemic, but this situation will also recover and demand will rise accordingly."
