AUSTRIAN Lauches Fantastic New Caribbean Destination!

Starting next October AUSTRIAN passengers will enjoy a great new destination that will make most of us in the USA a bit jealous.

On October 25, 2016, OS will launch weekly service between Vienna and Havana, Cuba aboard their 767 aircraft.

According to ‘OS’ the launch of this service is to commemorate 70 years of  ‘bilateral ties’ between Austria and Cuba.    This also marks the return of OS to the Caribbean after a 5 year absence.   Previously, OS had flown between Vienna and Punta Cana until 2010.

Flight information is as follows:

Flight OS 23 will depart Vienna on Tuesdays at 10:15a and arrive in Havana at 4:25p

Flight OS 24 will depart Havana on Tuesdays at 6:10p and arrive in Vienna at 10:50a the following morning.

Flight time is expected to be approximately 12 hours and 10 minutes.   Booking is now open for this route.
