With the OE-LAT, the first Boeing 767-300ER will leave the Austrian Airlines fleet in March. The machine was last used commercially on January 10, 2021 and is now being prepared for handover and transfer to the United States of America. The long-haul aircraft is expected to leave Austria in March 2021.

The OE-LAT was delivered to Lauda Air in 1991, which was taken over by Austrian Airlines in the early 2000s. After the purchase of the airline founded by Niki Lauda, ​​the Boeing 767-300ERs were transferred to the AOC of AUA. This year three machines of this type will leave the fleet.

In addition to the OE-LAT, there are the OE-LAX and the OE-LAW. According to AUA, the last two Boeing 767-300ERs mentioned are to be phased out "by autumn". With an average of 28,5 years, the three B767s are among the oldest aircraft in the Austrian Airlines fleet.

A total of 2022 aircraft will have left the AUA fleet by the beginning of 28: In addition to the three Boeing 767-300ERs mentioned, 18 DHC Dash 8-400 turboprops and seven A319 jets will be phased out. Ten of the aforementioned turboprops have already left the Austrian Airlines fleet, the remaining eight will follow at the end of March. This means that the fleet will consist of around 2022 aircraft by the beginning of 60. There are currently eight DHC Dash 8-400 in active scheduled service.
