Austrian Airlines will double its current operations over the course of its remaining summer schedule, moving from 20 per cent of normal capacity to nearly 40 per cent by October.
The Lufthansa Group airline will resume services between its Vienna hub and Shanghai, initially once a week, in August, and in September will add back flights to Chişinău, Dnipro, Iaşi, Klagenfurt, Leipzig, Lviv, Lyon, Nuremberg, Odessa and Yerevan.
Austrian is also increasing capacity on most current routes from September onwards, including larger aircraft and increased frequencies. Services to Amsterdam, Brussels, Bucharest, Copenhagen, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt and Paris will all feature up to three daily flights.
Its overall capacity will exceed 30 per cent of pre-Covid levels in September and almost 40 per cent by the end of October with more than 60 destinations on its schedule.
“Now that we have published our entire remaining summer flight schedule, we are offering our customers more planning security,” says Austrian Airlines CCO Andreas Otto. “The demand so far makes us confident that we are on the right track with the ramp-up of flight operations.”
