About Austrian Airlines

Austrian Airlines, founded in 1957, is Austria's flagship carrier and a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group. The airline has grown from a modest regional carrier to become a significant player in European aviation, particularly known for its extensive network connecting Western and Eastern Europe.

Currently, Austrian Airlines operates a modern fleet of approximately 61 aircraft, consisting primarily of Airbus A320 family aircraft for short and medium-haul routes, and Boeing 777-200ER and 767-300ER for long-haul operations. The airline's primary hub is Vienna International Airport (VIE), strategically positioned as a gateway between Western and Eastern Europe.

In the Indian market, Austrian Airlines maintains a strong presence with regular flights to Delhi and Mumbai, offering convenient connections to European destinations through Vienna. The airline has consistently received recognition for its service quality, including the "Best Airline Staff Service in Europe" award at the Skytrax World Airline Awards and multiple accolades for its premium wine selection and catering.
