Austrian Airlines to close Vienna-Rome route
Austrian Airlines will end Vienna-Rome Fiumicino service Nov 9, citing strong LCC competition, a spokesperson confirmed. The service had been launched in 1958. Lufthansa Group LCC subsidiary Eurowings Europe—operating the same route—will add an Austrian code to its flight number. Airberlin’s Austrian subsidiary FlyNiki will operate up to 3 daily flights between Vienna and Rome during the summer 2017 IATA schedule, as well as 1 daily frequency operated by Vueling. Rome became the third destination, in addition to Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca, where Austrian transferred services to Eurowings. Austrian also ended services to Istanbul in winter 2014-15 because of strong competition from Turkish Airlines. <br/>
