The number of staff at Linz Airport is currently said to be stable, because according to an airport spokesman, the number of employees is stable. There are currently nine vacancies at Upper Austria Airport.
The media officer emphasized to the Austrian broadcaster that they are also looking for additional employees for handling during the high season. However, the operational departments would be "appropriately staffed" so that "normal operation in the high season can be assumed". The short-time work helped Linz-Hörsching that the employees could be kept well.
In Upper Austria, however, it cannot be completely ruled out that there could be cuts, especially on the routes to Frankfurt am Main (Air Dolomiti) and Düsseldorf (Eurowings). The background is that these routes are mainly used by business travelers and their travel volume is traditionally lower in midsummer. In the past, the former operator Austrian Airlines reduced the frequencies on these routes in July and August.
It is not yet possible to assess whether the acute personnel problems in Germany could also affect the flight offer from Linz-Hörsching. A spokesman emphasizes that it is not yet known whether the reductions communicated by Lufthansa could also affect Linz. It is seen as an advantage that the Frankfurt route is served with the smaller Embraer-195, as it requires fewer personnel.
