History of Austrian Airlines

The Austrian Airlines Group has a long and traditional history. Our roots go back to 1957, when Österreichische Luftverkehrs AG (ÖLAG) was founded. Initially, we focused on domestic flights within Austria before gradually expanding our route network in Europe and beyond.

In 1988, the company was renamed Austrian Airlines to underline our international orientation. In the decades that followed, we developed into one of the leading airlines in European air traffic. Today, we are part of the Lufthansa Group and benefit from its extensive network and resources.

Despite these changes, our commitment to the highest quality and customer focus has remained constant over the years. We pride ourselves on being able to offer our guests the highest level of comfort, safety and service.

Austrian Airlines destinations

With a route network of over 130 direct destinations in around 55 countries, we are ideally positioned to take our passengers all over the world. Our focus is on destinations in Europe, but intercontinental flights to the USA, Canada, Asia and the Middle East are also part of our offer.

In addition to Austria, our key markets include Germany, Switzerland and Eastern Europe. In addition, in recent years we have expanded our offering towards the Middle East, India and China to meet the growing demand in these regions.

Whether you are travelling for business or pleasure - with Austrian Airlines you can be sure to reach your destination quickly and comfortably. Our route network includes both metropolises and attractive holiday destinations, so there is something for every taste.

Austrian Airlines fleet

In order to meet our high quality standards, we rely on a modern and efficient fleet. It currently consists of around 80 aircraft from various manufacturers such as Airbus, Boeing and Embraer.

Our long-haul fleet consists mainly of Boeing 777 and 767 aircraft, which are known for high comfort and fuel efficiency. On medium-haul routes, Airbus A320 aircraft are mainly used, which are characterized by their economy and environmental friendliness.

For regional flights within Europe, we also rely on modern turboprop aircraft from the Canadian manufacturer Bombardier. These aircraft are characterized by their maneuverability and short take-off distances, which makes them ideal for smaller airports.

Regardless of the aircraft type, we attach great importance to safety, reliability and comfort on board. Our fleet is regularly maintained and modernized to always provide you with a first-class flying experience.

In addition to our fleet, it is above all our service that sets Austrian Airlines apart from other airlines. We attach great importance to providing our guests with an all-round pleasant travel experience right from the start.
