Austrian regional People’s Viennaline eyes ACMI business
The Austrian regional carrier People’s Viennaline—which will close its Altenrhein-Friedrichshafen-Cologne route April 14—anticipates a move into the aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance (ACMI) market as it attempts to offset the effect of the route closure. The service was axed after only 6 months because of overcapacity. People’s Viennaline said a poor load factor of only 2,300 passengers on the Cologne route in March showed the route is not developing as expected and operating costs became too high. Its main routes are 4X-daily flights between Altenrhein and Vienna (Austria). The carrier bases 2 former Finnair Embraer E170s at Altenrhein, Switzerland. The second aircraft, which joined the fleet in February, should be placed on leisure and ACMI flights. <br/>
