Vienna Airport’s route map to the Caucasus is set to expand after FlyOne Armenia confirmed on 27 January 2026 that it will open direct flights to Yerevan on 3 April 2026. The Moldovan-Armenian carrier will start with one weekly Airbus A320 rotation before ramping up to three flights a week in June. Airport co-CEO Julian Jäger hailed the announcement as “a strategic win” that strengthens Vienna’s hub role for point-to-point and onward traffic to Central Asia and the Middle East.

For Austrian exporters and project engineers active in Armenia’s rapidly growing construction and renewable-energy sectors, the nonstop link cuts at least four hours off typical one-stop itineraries via Warsaw or Doha. Travel-management company BCD Austria estimates that door-to-door journey times from Linz to Yerevan will fall below eight hours when travellers connect through Vienna, compared with 11–12 hours today.
The route also plugs a white spot in Vienna’s network following the suspension of Austrian Airlines’ own Yerevan flights in 2022. By cooperating on interline tickets, the low-cost newcomer can feed passengers from regional Austrian airports onto its Caucasus service, while FlyOne gains access to Lufthansa Group’s distribution channels.

Corporate mobility managers should note that the late-evening arrival in Yerevan is timed to connect with FlyOne’s early-morning departures to Tehran and Kuwait, opening up multi-city itineraries on a single ticket. Introductory round-trip fares start at €269 in economy; a 10-kg cabin bag is included, but checked baggage and seat selection are extra.
For travelers unsure about the paperwork this new route entails, VisaHQ offers a one-stop online platform that walks Austrian passport holders through Armenia’s e-visa application, highlights business-travel nuances and can arrange courier pickup anywhere in the country.

Before booking, travellers should verify Armenian visa requirements. Nationals of most EU countries, including Austria, can obtain a 180-day e-visa within 48 hours. However, employees who plan on project work that exceeds 30 days must apply for a temporary residence permit through the Armenian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
