Austrian Airlines to Axe Vienna–Graz Shuttle from October as Rail Competition Bites
Austrian Airlines will end flights between Vienna and Graz on 26 October 2026, citing poor demand and strong rail competition. The decision aligns with Austria’s climate policy on replacing short-haul flights with rail and will force business travelers in Styria to rely on ÖBB Railjet or foreign hubs for long-haul connections. The cancellation underscores the growing importance of multimodal travel options for corporate mobility programs.
