The flight began with a departure roll from runway 33 at LOWS Salzburg Airport, where the Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,031 meters, which is 45% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 2,347 feet above sea level (asl) to 34,514 ft asl, an increase of 32,168 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles. The climb took place overhead Freilassing in Bavaria, Germany. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 2 miles north of Groebming in Steiermark, Austria, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.

The enroute descent began 5 miles north of Hohenau an der Raab in Steiermark, Austria, where the aircraft descended from 35,001 ft asl to 17,020 ft asl, a decrease of 17,981 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles. The descent was followed by another level cruise, which started 2 miles north of Deutschkreutz in Burgenland, Austria, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.

The final descent began 1 mile northwest of Wallern im Burgenland in Burgenland, Austria, where the aircraft descended from 16,991 ft asl to 1,765 ft asl, a decrease of 15,226 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 31 at LZIB M. R. Štefánik Airport from the southeast, heading 312.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,318 feet above ground level (agl).

The landing on runway 31 at LZIB M. R. Štefánik Airport, which has a length of 2,946 meters, was characterized by a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was too high at 151 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 257 meters, but the touchdown speed at 148 knots was too fast. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -740 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 857 meters, which is 29% of the runway. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 199 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 45 minutes, during which the aircraft used 937 kilograms of fuel.
