Austrian Airlines is expanding the range of uses of the Turbopops it has leased, complete with crews, and will be using leased ATR 72 aircraft from Braathens Regional Airlines on nine routes from Vienna and one from Linz in the upcoming summer flight schedule. The aircraft will be used on the Vienna-Leipzig/Halle and Linz-Frankfurt routes, among others.
The ATR 72 is a turboprop aircraft that is particularly suitable for short-haul flights. It has space for up to 72 passengers and is characterized by its cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness. The aircraft are operated by the Swedish company Braathens on behalf of AUA.
The connections from Vienna will go to Belgrade, Bologna, Graz, Klagenfurt, Krakow, Prague, Warsaw and Zagreb, among others. The route from Linz to Frankfurt will also be served with the ATR 72.
