Vienna (VIE) to Delhi (DEL) shipping route.

Vienna to Delhi by air: flight distance 5,824 km, heading east from Austria to India. The shortest line over the globe is 5,546 km, and real airways add the rest.

Flight time is about 8 h at 800 km/h block speed. Most cargo on this distance flies nonstop, in a freighter or in the belly of a passenger aircraft. Door to door air freight transit time is usually 1 to 3 days longer than the flight because of acceptance, security screening, customs and handling at both airports.

In the week we checked there were 2 flights between VIE and DEL, 2 of them on freighters, operated by Korean Air.

Air freight rates are charged per kilogram of chargeable weight: the higher of the actual weight and the volume weight (length x width x height in cm divided by 6,000). Light, bulky cargo pays for space, so compact packing on Vienna to Delhi saves money. The shipment crosses from Austria into India, so export and import customs clearance are part of the lead time.

Among 69 routes from Vienna (VIE) in this directory, Delhi (DEL) is the 22nd shortest by flight distance. Shorter flights from Vienna: Addis Ababa (5,066 km), Lagos (5,025 km) and Abu Dhabi (4,453 km).
