Susanna Sciacovelli, General Director of airberlin in Italy, said the following on Monday at a joint press conference on the inaugural flight in Florence: “The expansion of our partner NIKI’s network with the new Florence-Vienna connection gives passengers of the airberlin group more travel options to Italy. The new route is not only an important step for NIKI, but also broadens and strengthens the airberllin group’s entire route network to and from Italy.”
Christian Lesjak, Managing Director of NIKI, added: “The development of the Vienna hub within the airberlin group means more transfer connections, more frequencies and better departure times for airberlin and NIKI passengers. Via the Vienna hub, travellers from Florence can reach many more destinations such as Paris, Copenhagen or eastern European cities.”
The airberlin group flies to a total of 14 destinations in Italy. In addition to Milan and Rome, Florence is the fifth destination NIKI offers from Austria to Italy.
