Star Alliance Chief Executive Officer Theo Panagiotoulias stated: \u201cAir and Rail have complemented each other as transport modes for several years around the world, and we are proud to welcome \u00d6BB, the Austrian Federal Railways, to the Star Alliance family. Customers can now travel from Singapore to Salzburg with a single ticket, switching from a flight to Railjet at the Vienna airport. I am confident that not only will this partnership offer more choice, but it will also enhance the seamlessness in customer journeys.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u00d6BB (Austrian Federal Railways) CEO Andreas Matth\u00e4 commented: \u201cTraveling from the main train stations in Linz, Salzburg, Graz, or Innsbruck to destinations worldwide will soon be even easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will make train journeys an even more flexible and seamless part of air travel \u2014 not just with one airline group, but a global network of 25 airlines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partnership is founded on \u00d6BB and Austrian Airlines\u2019 long-standing cooperation to offer rail-to-air connectivity, known as AIRail, which was launched in 2014. It has allowed passengers to travel conveniently between major Austrian cities and Vienna Airport by train, with integrated ticketing and check-in services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduced in August 2022 with Germany\u2019s Deutsche Bahn, the Star Alliance Intermodal Partnership model allows an alliance-wide airline network to be combined with a railway, bus and ferry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customer benefits <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More booking convenience:<\/strong> Customers will receive a combined ticket for the flight and train journeys, including seat reservations, in a single booking process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More check-in convenience:<\/strong> Customers can check in online or at one of the \u00d6BB Travel Centers in Graz, Linz, Salzburg and Innsbruck and receive boarding passes for both flight and train journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
