Korean Air and Vienna International Airport have signed an agreement to strengthen their air cargo partnership.
The objective is to address increasing air cargo demand between Korea and Austria, as well as use Vienna as a key hub to serve broader European markets.
The partnership will see the two entities leverage joint marketing initiatives aimed at freight forwarders and customers.
Korean Air will provide Vienna International Airport with market and industry insights to improve customer service.
Austria’s central European location and bridge between Eastern and Western Europe make it a strategic gateway for Korean manufacturers with investments in nearby countries such as Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.
Jaedong Eum, Senior Vice President and Head of Cargo Business Division at Korean Air, said:
We are pleased to announce our collaboration with Vienna International Airport. Korean Air is fully committed to enhancing air cargo services and ensuring utmost customer satisfaction between Korea and Vienna with this agreement.
Meanwhile, Julian Jäger, Joint CEO and COO of Vienna Airport (Flughafen Wien AG), commented:
The neighboring countries of Austria and Asia have been economic regions that have been closely linked through international air cargo traffic for many years. Especially in the automotive and electronics sectors, Asian companies rely on the manufacturing capacities in the eastern European region. Korean Air is an important air cargo partner since 20 years and I am pleased that we can now further expand our long-standing partnership in the cargo sector with this agreement.
