APR 21, 2004 (newstodate): From April 19, Asiana Cargo has implemented a new flight schedule between Seoul and Vienna to serve the growing markets of Eastern Europe.
Asiana has thus upped frequency from one to three Boeing 747-400F flights directly from Seoul to Vienna.
From Vienna, one flight returns to Seoul via Frankfurt and Brussels, while the other two flights return via London Stansted and Amsterdam.
-The new schedule is driven by imports from Seoul, notably by the large Korean companies including Kia, Samsung, Hyundai destined for their production sites in Slovakia, says Wolfgang Schrammel, Asiana Cargo manager at the airline's Austrian GSA, Chapman Freeborn.
-Besides Austria and Slovakia, we also serve the markets of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, and Croatia, but Slovakia is undoubtedly Asiana's single largest market, and the set-up here at Vienna Airport is mainly driven by this traffic, Schrammel says.
As for loads on the eastbound sector, Mr Schrammel expects a few "demanding months" before the European exports pick up again in the autumn.
Beside the expansion by Asiana Cargo, Korean Air Cargo also started a once-weekly freighter service into Vienna from April 18, likewise targetting the ex-Seoul exports to Slovakia's Korean production sites.
