Turkish Airlines has signed a comprehensive ground handling contract with Vienna Airport covering all services – from passenger care to baggage and aircraft handling.

The five-year agreement, effective until 2030, further strengthens the long-standing partnership between Turkish Airlines and Vienna Airport.

Turkish Airlines currently operates five daily flights between Vienna and Istanbul – one of Europe's major aviation hubs.

"Turkish Airlines is one of our most valued airline partners and the fifth-largest airline at Vienna Airport. The decision to choose Vienna Airport as its handling partner is a clear sign of confidence in the quality and reliability of our operational services," said Julian Jäger, Joint CEO and COO of Vienna Airport.

"As the largest ground handling provider on site, we stand for efficient processes, our ground handling teams deliver top performance every day – which is precisely what makes Vienna one of the most punctual hubs in Europe," he added.

Turkish Airlines Austria General Manager Serkan Özbüyükyörük noted that as the airline connecting Vienna to more countries than any other carrier through our İstanbul hub, it sees the five-year ground handling agreement as a "strategic enabler" of reliability.

"We are glad to deepen our long-standing partnership with Vienna Airport and continue setting the standard for premium aviation in Europe, as the Best Airline in Europe. Turkish Airlines is committed to delivering superior quality at every touchpoint, and this expanded partnership reinforces that commitment through 2030," Özbüyükyörük said.

Turkish Airlines connects Vienna to Istanbul five times a day, linking Austria's capital with one of the world's largest aviation hubs. 

The carrier also provides substantial cargo capacity via belly freight on its passenger flights, contributing to global air freight connectivity.
