VIE Vienna

How deep the VIE board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from VIE. This reads the same 200 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 103of the 200 destinations are flown by one airline
• 81destinations run less than once a day
• 27destinations have four or more departures a day
• 63%of the destinations name Austrian, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at VIE

96 airlines appear on the VIE board and they do not hold it evenly. Austrian is on 126 of the 200 destinations, 63 per cent of them, and on 48 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 340 of the 414.4 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Ryanair on 68 destinations. 68 of the 96 airlines at VIE appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 126 of the 200 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on a VIE sector is usually another Austrian aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. That is why the alternate airports listed above matter more at VIE than the destination count does.

How much of the VIE board is daily

Of the 200 destinations, 119 are flown at least once a day and 81 are not, 20 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the VIE board is flown about once a day.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: VIE to Trieste (TRS) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 59 of the 414.4 departures a day, 14.2 per cent of the whole board. The other 195 destinations are spread widely enough that a courier who misses the first departure at VIE usually has somewhere else to look on the same board.

The ten destinations out of VIE where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 57 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from VIE

The desk holds the return direction for 138 of the 200 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On four of them the return into VIE runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Istanbul (IST) at 5.7 out a day against 3.9 back, Antalya (AYT) at 13.7 out a day against 9.4 back and Toronto (YYZ) at 1.6 out a day against 1.1 back.

It runs the other way as well: Yerevan (EVN) files 1.7 a day back into VIE against 1.1 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at VIE

VIE keeps Europe/Vienna time, two hours behind Dubai in summer and three hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 07:00 at VIE, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for seven hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at VIE and still make a departure the same day.

The night at VIE

VIE carries a documented restriction, checked 2026-09-07. Movements between 23:30 and 05:30 local are limited. That is a hole of six hours in the middle of the night. A movement that misses the last slot before 23:30 does not go until 05:30, and the courier spends the night here rather than at the other end.

17 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from VIE that lands inside it leaves around 21:35, on a modelled block of 1h 25m. Into Zurich (ZRH) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from VIE that lands inside it leaves around 21:37, on a modelled block of 1h 23m. Into Paris (CDG) the door shuts at 00:00 local, so the last departure from VIE that lands inside it leaves around 22:11, on a modelled block of 1h 49m. Those three departure times out of VIE are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where VIE turns up on the rest of this site

VIE carries two other pages on this site as well: the Austria country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport and the VIE transit page for the connecting case, where a courier changes aircraft here rather than starting or finishing.

The site publishes 54 airport pair pages that start or end at VIE, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Vienna to Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA), Vienna to Zurich (ZRH) and Vienna to Paris (CDG).

Three of the 346 published hand carry lanes run through this airport: Dubai to Vienna, Vienna to Bratislava and Vienna to Tokyo. A lane page is the commercial version of the board above, with the customs, the ground legs and the price at VIE written out.

15 courier postings name VIE as the airport a courier here flies from: Vienna, Győr and Bratislava.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with VIE already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 200 destinations above.
