On 24 October 2021 at 10:40 am local time, Austrian Airlines’ aircraft OE-LPF took off for its maiden flight to Cancún. Passengers and crew of the fully booked Boeing 777 with a seating capacity of 306 were given a farewell with Mexican rhythms and typical breakfast at the gate at Vienna Airport. Twelve hours later, OS095 landed safely in Cancún, where it was welcomed with water fountains.
