Estonian Air will start flights to Vienna and Hannover

24.11.2011
Starting from spring 2012, Estonian Air will open two new destinations to Europe’s key transit centres: on 25 March flights to Vienna with six flights a week and on 2 April to Hannover with six flights a week.

Estonian Air will open several new routes in 2012 to Europe’s most important cities as well as less known regional centres in Nordic countries. ”The logic behind the selection of these destinations is to develop Tallinn into a hub. This will bring more passengers to Estonia using Tallinn Airport as a transfer point in their journey onwards,” noted Tero Taskila, CEO of Estonian Air.

”Vienna is a major transit centre enabling us to cover the Balkan and Southern Europe regions in the future. Austria, which is known for its attractive travel and tourism environments, is also worth of visiting for skiing and city breaks,” explained Rauno Parras, Estonian Air Commercial Manager, reasons behind the decisions.

Flight schedule Tallinn-Vienna route from 25 March 2012:

Departure / Arrival
Monday, Wednesday, Friday OV191 Tallinn 7:00 Vienna 8:10
Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday OV193 Tallinn 17:45 Vienna 18:55
Monday, Wednesday, Friday OV192 Vienna 9:35 Tallinn 12:45
Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday OV194 Vienna 19:45 Tallinn 21:55

”Another new destination – Hannover – has geographically very good location residing in the middle of Germany. Also, Deutsche Bahn’s biggest centre is located in Hannover. Good connections with Deutsche Bahn from Hannover, customers can get to major cities in Germany and surrounding countries within 2 hour transit times. Tickets to Deutsche Bahn's attractive rail network can be bought from biggest travel agents together with Estonian Air tickets,” noted Rauno Parras.

„As additional benefit our passengers arriving from Tallinn in Hannover will receive a free HannoverCard during the first year of operation (until 24 March 2013) as well as a free ticket for fairs taking place at that time in Hannover. The HannoverCard, that can be obtained by showing the boarding pass in the Hannover airport information desk, is a travel pass for all busses, S-Bahn trains, and trams within the entire Greater Hannover transport network (GVH),” added Parras.

Flight schedule Tallinn-Hannover route from 2 April 2012:

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday OV167 Tallinn 13:10 Hannover 14:05

The core of Estonian Air’s new strategy is to connect Estonia better with the world, and thus improving the country’s global competitiveness.

That enables the company to enlarge the home market, to achieve sustainable growth and improve its economical results.
