24.01.2010 - Austriair (Vienna) is a new start-up backed by Austrian charter operator MAP Jet (MPJ/Vienna) that is planning to start operations in spring with three EMB-195s offering twice daily flights from Vienna to Frankfurt Intl, Munich and Stuttgart. It has also announced plans to apply for traffic rights to serve destinations in Russia since Russian authorities are currently reviewing if Austrian Airlines (OS/Vienna) should still be considered as an Austrian flag carrier with the ability to use traffic rights between Austria and Russia given it is fully owned by Lufthansa (LH/Frankfurt Intl). 24.01.2010 - Austrian Airlines (OS/Vienna) has announced that it plans to sell its 22.5% stake in Ukraine International Airlines (PS/Kiev Borispol). It has announced new seasonal routes: Graz-Antalya: weekly seasonal B737-800 service operating until March 5 Graz-Kos: weekly seasonal A321 service starting on May 26 Innsbruck-Dublin: 2x weekly seasonal B737-800 service operating until March 20 Innsbruck-Kefallinia: weekly seasonal Fokker 100 service starting on June 5 (operated by Tyrolean Airways (VO/Innsbruck)) Innsbruck-Preveza: weekly seasonal Fokker 100 service starting on June 6 (operated by Tyrolean Airways) Linz-Antalya: weekly seasonal B737-800 service starting on February 12 Linz-Kerkyra-Graz-Linz: weekly seasonal B737-800 service starting on June 1 Vienna-Bologna Marconi-Florence: daily Fokker 70 service starting on February 28 (replacing non-stop service to Florence) Austrian will give up its Vienna-Ekaterinburg and Vienna-Odessa routes on March 26 but will continue to codeshare on the daily Ukraine International service between Vienna and Odessa. It has already terminated its Vienna-Riyadh-Jeddah service on December 20. Austrian has suggested to the government that its domestic routes from Vienna to Graz, Klagenfurt and Linz should become public service obligation routes as it would not be able to continue to profitably operate these routes. 24.01.2010 - Jat Airways (JU/Belgrade) has made more network changes: Belgrade-Larnaca-Dubai: 3x weekly B737-300 service resuming on April 1 Belgrade-Ljubljana: 4x weekly ATR 72-200 service (already launched) After the announcement of its new Dubai service, it has announced that it will stop serving Abu Dhabi on February 4. The Abu Dhabi route had been launched after Jat had failed to renew a favourable interline agreement with Emirates (EK/Dubai) for the large amount of traffic between Serbia and Australia that it then unsuccessfully tried to replace with a similar agreement with Etihad Airways (EY/Abu Dhabi Intl). It has temporarily suspended its Belgrade-Banja Luka services until March 28 when three weekly ATR 72-200 flights will be resumed on the route. It has announced that it was considering adding direct flights from Banja Luka to several Western European destinations if it is able to secure sufficient traffic rights. Similar plans to launch a new subsidiary in Macedonia, tentatively called Aeromak, seem to have failed after it has not received an operating license. Jat has entered into a bilateral codeshare agreement with Austrian Airlines (OS/Vienna) for the Belgrade-Vienna route allowing the carriers to offer up to five daily services. It has announced 550 job cuts as part of a plan to return back to profitability by 2011. The plan also includes the replacement of its single B737-400 by a B737-700 later in 2010. According to several news reports over the last couple of months, Olympic Air (OA/Athens) parent Marfin Investment Group, Aeroflot (SU/Moscow Sheremetyevo) and Turkish Airlines (TK/Istanbul Ataturk) have all declared their interest in taking over or partnering with Jat Airways should the airline be privatized. 24.01.2010 - Lufthansa (LH/Frankfurt International) has announced new services from several German airports and has also published plans to add Baghdad and Erbil to its network later this summer: Dusseldorf Intl-Athens: 5x weekly CRJ-900 service starting on March 28 (operated by Eurowings (EW/Dortmund)) Dusseldorf Intl-Dubrovnik: 2x weekly CRJ-900 service starting on April 1 (operated by Eurowings) Dusseldorf Intl-Gdansk: 6x weekly CRJ-200 service starting on Mach 28 (operated by Eurowings) Frankfurt Intl-Jeddah-Sana: 4x weekly A330-300/A340-300 service starting on March 28 (replacing Sana route via Addis Ababa) Frankfurt Intl-Khartoum: 4x weekly B737-800 service starting on March 28 (replacing route via Jeddah) (operated by PrivatAir (PTI/Geneva)) Munich-Athens: 2x weekly seasonal Fokker 100 service starting on March 28 (operated by Contact Air (C3/Stuttgart)) Munich-Miami: 3x weekly A330-300 service resuming on March 30 Munich-Rostock/Laage: 2x weekly CRJ-900 service starting on March 28 (operated by Lufthansa CityLine (CL/Cologne/Bonn)) Munich-Tallinn: daily A319-100 service starting on March 28 Munich-Tehran Imam Khomeini: 4x weekly B737-800 service resuming on March 29 (operated by PrivatAir) Munich-Zadar: weekly seasonal CRJ-900 service starting on April 3 (operated by Lufthansa CityLine) Lufthansa will temporarily suspend its Dusseldorf Intl-Chicago OHare route between January 29 and February 24. It had previously already terminated service to Shenyang that it had served as an add-on leg to its six times weekly A340-300 service between Munich and Seoul Incheon. Lufthansa will also give up its Hanover-Paris CDG route on January 31 and its Berlin Tegel-Paris CDG, Berlin Tegel-Vienna, Dusseldorf Intl-London City, Nuremberg-Paris CDG and Stuttgart-Vienna routes on March 27. In addition, it has announced that it will not resume its seasonal services from Dusseldorf Intl to Bastia and Sarmellek this summer season. Its subsidiary Austrian Airlines (OS/Vienna) will continue to operate from Vienna to Berlin Tegel and Stuttgart. Lufthansa has started full bilateral codesharing with its new Star Alliance partner Continental Airlines (CO/Houston Intcl). 11.10.2009 - Austrian Airlines (OS/Vienna) has been taken over by Lufthansa (LH/Frankfurt Intl) in early September after the European Union has approved the transaction and a 500 million EUR restructuring package provided by the Austrian government. Austrian, Brussels Airlines (SN/Brussels Ntl) and Lufthansa however need to give up slots for services between Vienna and Brussels Ntl, Cologne/Bonn, Frankfurt Intl, Munich and Stuttgart while Austrian has been forced to cut its charter services operated on behalf of Austrian tour operators. As a result of the transaction, AUA has announced plans to remove the remaining ten CRJ-200s and several Dash 8-300s at Tyrolean Airways (VO/Innsbruck) from the fleet by spring 2010. It has also temporarily grounded an A319-100, an A320-200 and an A321-100 and is expecting to use seven B737-800s currently deployed on charter services on its scheduled network instead. Austrian is reportedly considering replacing two of its B767-300ERs by B777-200ERs and is adding its second B737-600 to scheduled service again after a six year lease to the United States Navy (VV/Washington) has ended. As part of the plan, it is also planning to cut up to 1000 additional jobs until mid-2010. AUA will resume weekly seasonal B777-200ER service from Vienna to Punta Cana on January 6. It will however give up its Vienna-Hanover route on October 24. Its codeshare agreement with El Al Israel Airlines (LY/Tel Aviv Ben Gurion) for the Vienna-Tel Aviv Ben Gurion route will be terminated by the end of the month. It has however signed a new codeshare agreement with Transaero Airlines (UN/Moscow Domodedovo) for the Vienna-Moscow Domodedovo route linking the hubs of the two carriers. In other news, Austrian has announced its intention to sell its 22.5% stake in Ukraine Intl Airlines (PS/Kiev Borispol). |
