“I am delighted that we can offer our Austrian guests these additional flights between Graz and Berlin. These additional links will be particularly interesting for business travellers, with improved connections as of 13 April for example to Abu Dhabi, Warsaw, Kaliningrad and now also Billund in Denmark”, says Götz Ahmelmann, Chief Commercial Officer of airberlin.

Deputy Provincial Governor Hermann Schützenhöfer: “Germany’s second-biggest airline provides perfect links from the provincial capital Graz to the most important foreign market for Styria province. The positive development in recent years shows very clearly that Germans are extremely fond of the “Green Heart” of Austria. Maintaining good international connections is vital for Styria as a centre of business, knowledge and tourism“

City Councillor Univ. Doc. DI Dr. Gerhard Rüsch: “We are delighted about the new flight schedule with morning and evening connections to Berlin. As a City of Design in the Unesco Creative Cities Network, this facilitates exchange with our network partner Berlin and it will also benefit Graz as a business location and tourist destination.”

“The morning service and the new daily connection make Berlin Airport the ideal base for our passengers and for the business world to reach more than sixty new destinations in a matter of a few hours”, according to the Chairman of the Board of Holding Graz Dipl.-Ing. Wolfgang Malik.
