Austrian Airline AG

Austrian Airline AG was founded 30 September 1957 and operates out of its hub the Vienna International Airport. It is a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group and the flag carrier for the Government of Austria. Currently Austrian Airline has ore than 130 scheduled worldwide flights. In the 2000s Austrian acquired Rheintalflug and Lauda Air (2003). Sold to the Lufthansa Group in 2009, disputes with staff over various cost-cutting measures resulted in Austrian transferring all flights to Tyrolean Airways, a subsidiary. The transfer happened 1 July 2012. Happily by 1 April 2015, the flights were transferred back to Austrian and Tyrolean Airways became part of the Austrian Airlines company. Austrian has been thought of as a real success story for Austria, managing to stay in business and adapt to the changing economy.

Austrian Airlines Fleet

Throughout its history since its 1923 founding, Austrian Air had a range of different aircraft for passenger, government, and cargo needs. The first was a Junkers F 13 series, followed by Junkers Ju 90, Vickers Viscount 779, Douglas DC9-32, A340, A330, Boeing 767 and 777, Bombardier Dash 8 Q400, Embraer 170, Fokker 70. The varied fleet enabled Austrian to fly long and short flights, worldwide, regional, and country to country with ease for both economy and business passengers.

The current fleet for short to medium-length trips is made of Boeing 777-200 ER and 767-300 ER planes. The Boeing aircraft accommodates up to 260 economy and 48 business passengers in three columns of seats with 3, 4, and three seats across (economy) or a mix of 1, 2, and one seat columns for business travelers.

For longer trips, there is a series of Airbus A321/A320/A319, Fokker F100/F70, and Bombardier Q400. The Fokker F70 and Bombardier Q400 offer two columns with two seats on the right, three on the left, and economy passengers only.
