The Austrian Airlines summer timetable 27 will come into effect on March 2022th. The latest bookings allow the Lufthansa subsidiary to look to the next few months with optimism: the hub carrier in Vienna has currently recorded over 600.000 new bookings within the last fourteen days.

The positive booking trend of the past few weeks has thus continued and underscores once again that Austrian Airlines is the trustworthy travel companion that local travel enthusiasts rely on. "We are and will remain Austria's number 1. The booking figures prove that our offer is right," says Austrian Airlines CCO Michael Trestl with conviction. Already in the summer of last year and also in the winter season 2021/22 it was shown that the desire to travel is great. The Austrian team therefore reacted to this at an early stage and put together a comprehensive summer flight schedule that offers around 20 percent more offers to European holiday destinations in summer than before the corona pandemic. Austrian is thus once again on the road with the full strength of its fleet.

In the forthcoming Easter holidays, long-haul destinations such as the Maldives, Mauritius, Bangkok and Cancún as well as sunny destinations in Europe such as Mallorca, Sicily and Cyprus are particularly in demand. For spring city trips, Tel Aviv, London, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin would be high on the list of the most popular travel destinations. "While other providers are increasingly withdrawing from Vienna, Austrian Airlines has massively increased its route portfolio in order to strengthen its role as Austria's home airline and the hub function of the Vienna hub," the carrier said in a press release. It is clear to whom these sentences are addressed: Wizz Air has actually removed many destinations from the summer flight schedule in the last few days. In contrast, Ryanair offers the most extensive flight schedule from VIE to date.
