Lufthansa actually wanted to reactivate the Innsbruck-Frankfurt route on November 2, 2020. But that will not happen – at least for the time being. The resumption has been postponed until December 1, 2020, the airline confirmed. No specific reason was given, but the impending mandatory quarantine in Germany and the planned lockdown are likely to delay the
Austrian Airlines will not resume the Düsseldorf-Linz route announced for November 2, 2020 for the time being. According to a company spokesperson, the new date is “mid-January 2021”. The carrier’s decision is bad news for Linz, as there will be no regular scheduled flights of the
Due to the weak booking situation, Austrian Airlines will be discontinuing connections to Nuremberg and Leipzig, among others, from November 2020. The parent company Lufthansa announced a few days ago that group-wide capacity will be significantly reduced again. This also has consequences for the fleet: the backbone of short- and medium-haul routes will be
Switzerland is removing the federal states of Vienna, Upper Austria, Lower Austria, Burgenland and Salzburg, which have been classified as risk areas since September, from its red list. The new regulation will apply from tomorrow and will lift all quarantine requirements for people entering from Austria. This relaxation comes as something of a surprise, as the number of infections in the Austrian federal states is increasing sharply again.
Lauda Europe will see significantly fewer flight orders from Ryanair in November 2020, as another 15 routes will be suspended for at least four weeks due to low demand. Paphos, Larnaka and Tel Aviv are destinations in two countries that Austrians currently have difficulty entering.

Carinthia is currently the only federal state in Austria that the neighboring country has not yet classified as a so-called risk area. The last rotation for the time being
The Austrian Ryanair subsidiary Lauda suffered another defeat in court: At the end of June, the company fired a heavily pregnant crew trainer, thereby ignoring the protection against dismissal. But that's not all: Laudamotion sued 17 other women who are expecting children for consent to the dismissal. This was now rejected by the court. The union welcomes
Despite the fact that the DHC Dash 8-400 aircraft is currently proving to be the ideal workhorse for the extremely limited demand on Austrian Airlines’ short-haul routes, the company is sticking to its retirement schedule. The turboprop aircraft are to be “retired” by the end of the first quarter of 2021. In the current 2020/21 winter flight plan period,
The Austrian airline Laudamotion is now history. Flight operations have been permanently suspended and the company will shortly enter voluntary liquidation. The carrier confirmed to Aviation Direct that it will no longer operate flights. Laudamotion was thus a very short-lived scheduled airline that was formed in 2018 from the remains of the
Alcohol and flight crews are actually two words that have to exclude each other.

However, this is not necessarily due to serious problems, but sometimes – for example after a
