Story

The air line was established on September 30, 1957, the first flight took place on March 31, 1958 with Vickers Viscount 779 Vienna-Zurich-London. Austrian Airlines was formed through the merger of Austrian Airways and Air Austria. First domestic flights began May 1, 1963. First transatlantic flight the airline company was April 1, 1969 on the route New York-Brussels-Vienna in cooperation with Sabena.

Austrian joined the Star Alliance in 2000. Austrian in the same year, acquired Lauda Air, which also operated long-haul flights, and acquired Rheintalflug on February 15, 2001. As a result of the rebranding, the Austrian brand became common for aviation companies. On October 1, 2004, the flight divisions of Lauda Air and Austrian were merged, as a result of which the Lauda Air brand was used only for charter flights.

Austrian Airlines has been 100% owned by ÖLH Österreichische Luftverkehrs-Holding-GmbH since 2010. Fully owns two aviation company Mi - Lauda Air and Austrian Arrows, has a 22.5% stake in Ukraine International Airlines. The staff is 8468 people.

The Austrian government in June 2008 commissioned the investment bank Merrill Lynch to prepare the full privatization of the aviation company through the sale of the foreign aviation company. The aviation company Air France-KLM, Lufthansa, Air China, Royal Jordanian, Aeroflot initially declared their interest, Turkish Airlines, Singapore Airlines, S7 Airlines. The shortlist included Air France-KLM, Lufthansa and S7. On December 5, 2008, it became known that ÖIAG confirmed the sale of 41.6 percent of the shares of Austrian Airlines to Lufthansa at a price of 366,268.75 euros.

corporate design

The Austrian Airlines color scheme has always been "red-white-red". Aircraft from the 1950s to the 80s were silver in color, the upper fuselage was white with an Austrian Airlines arrow and the inscription "Austrian Airlines" (until 1972, 1995-2003) or "Austrian" (1972-1995, since 2003).

The usual arrow Austrian Airlines ("Austrian Chevron") had three options. In 1960, it was shaped like a paper airplane, and it received its current shape in 1972. After a rebranding in 1995, "Chevron" was placed on the red-white-red tails of the aircraft. But Chevron, after a new change in corporate style in 2003, experienced a "revival": the old arrow was again used, but with shadows and in a more modern style.

A number of special color schemes have been used for decades. After joining Star Alliance, some aircraft began to wear the emblem of the alliance. In the year of Mozart, in 2006, the Airbus A320 received a special livery, the Airbus A340 wore the emblem of the Vienna Philharmonic, and the Boeing 737-600 was painted in Tyrolean motifs. Three aircraft were painted for EURO 2008, and one Airbus A320 was painted in retro style for the company's 50th anniversary.

Appointments

Austrian's main route destinations are the Middle East and Eastern Europe, most of which are served by the Tyrolean Airways division.

As a result of the savings program, in 2006 Austrian decided to decommission the Airbus A340 and Airbus A330 fleet, which consisted of 4 Airbus A330-200 (OE-LAO, OE-LAN, OE-LAM, OE-LAP), 2 -x A340-200 (OE-LAH and OE-LAG) and 2x Airbus A340-300 (OE-LAL and OE-LAK). Some of the aircraft were sold to TAP Portugal, Swiss and the French Air Force. As a result, Austrian closed a number of long-haul flights to Australia and East Asia. Flights to Shanghai were discontinued in January 2007, flights to Colombo, Phuket, Male and Mauritius in April 2007, flights to Kathmandu in May 2007.

In March 2007, the airline's longest flights, Melbourne - Singapore - Vienna - and Sydney - Kuala Lumpur - Vienna, were also terminated, stopping operations on Kangaroo flights. Austrian was the last European airline to operate direct flights from Europe to Melbourne.

Austrian is one of the few airlines that began operating flights to post-war Iraq (Erbil), where it began flying from December 2006. However, this flight was canceled the following year. Flights to Erbil resumed in June 2008.
