Korean Air Cargo and Vienna Airport have been cooperating since 2004. Following on from its 20-year anniversary, last year, the cargo airline has now officially extended its cargo handling contract with the airport for another four years. Thus, the connection linking Austria’s Vienna Airport with Korea’s Incheon Airport, will continue until the end of 2028. Korean Air Cargo is responding to the increasing demand for air cargo services between Korea and Europe and uses Vienna as a gateway for shipments destined for Central and Eastern Europe. The latest Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) goes beyond mere handling activities, since the two companies are planning joint marketing initiatives and exchanging expertise regarding logistics systems as well as expanding services for freight forwarders and customers.
Julian Jäger, joint CEO and COO of Vienna Airport, announced: “The successful partnership between Korean Air Cargo and Vienna Airport has been extended for another four years – a strong sign of the trust and cooperation that has connected our companies for 20 years. Together, we will continue to develop cargo handling between Seoul and Vienna at the highest level and expand our position as a leading European cargo hub. Austria, its neighboring countries, and Asia will thus remain closely linked economic zones through international airfreight traffic in the future. We look forward to continuing this success story.”
Eum Jaedong, Executive Vice President and Head of Cargo Division at Korean Air Cargo, exclaimed: “We are delighted to announce our continued partnership with Vienna Airport. Our co-operation has led to successful business results, and we are confident that this contract extension will lead to further growth and development. We look forward to providing our customers with the best possible transport services and further strengthening Vienna Airport’s position as a major hub for logistics in Eastern Europe.” Michael Zach, Senior Vice President Ground Handling & Cargo Operations of Vienna Airport, explained: “The extension of the Korean Air Cargo contract until 2028 is clear proof of Vienna Airport’s strength as an air cargo hub. We offer comprehensive services, modern infrastructure and a dedicated team that ensures maximum efficiency and reliability. Korean Air Cargo is one of the most important cargo airlines at the site and we look forward to further expanding our good collaboration.”
