Austrian Airlines confirms Vienna-Los Angeles flights
Austrian Airlines confirmed it will launch seasonal 6X-weekly Vienna-Los Angeles service from April 10, 2017, marking the carrier’s first destination on the US west coast. Austrian currently serves New York JFK, New York Newark, Miami, Chicago O’Hare and Toronto in North America. “We believe there is potential for this route because there is no direct competition from Vienna to Los Angeles,” Austrian CE Kay Kratky said. Initially, the Vienna-Los Angeles route will be served seasonally in the summer 2017 flight schedule with a Boeing 777-200ER. Separately, Austrian is preparing for a difficult 2016 second half. “My feelings for [the second half of the year] are not good ones,” Kratky said, citing a “double-digit drop in bookings” from the US and China to Europe following terrorist attacks in Europe and amid economic uncertainty. <br/>
