Ryanair will add six new routes from Vienna and at the same time assume commercial responsibility on many Lauda routes. The operational implementation is carried out by Malta Air, Buzz, Lauda and Ryanair.

In the future, Lauda customers will have to get used to new flight numbers on numerous routes, because some routes will no longer be under the commercial responsibility of the Austrian subsidiary, but rather that of Ryanair. This means that the flight numbers on the affected routes will be changed from OE to FR. However, the implementation is to continue with the Airbus A320 from Lauda.

In addition to the three new routes already known (Cologne / Bonn, Paphos and Danzig), Ryanair will also add Bari, Eindhoven and Naples. These will be served several times a week from August 1, 2020. Some Lauda aircraft are used from Vienna, some Ryanair aircraft from other bases.

The routes Alicante, Athens, Brussels-Charleroi, Lisbon, Malaga, Milan, Rome-Fiumicino, Thessaloniki, Valencia, Warsaw-Modlin and Zakynthos will in future be under the commercial responsibility of Ryanair. Therefore, the destinations mentioned will soon receive FR flight numbers. The operational implementation is carried out by Lauda, ​​Ryanair, Buzz and Malta Air. Modlin was announced from the beginning as a Ryanair route, operated by Buzz, which is why the flight number or the operator on this route will not change. The Irish low-cost airline announced that the number of frequencies on the aforementioned routes will be increased.

"Ryanair is pleased to be able to offer its extremely affordable fares from Vienna with new routes to Bari, Cologne, Eindhoven, Gdansk, Naples & Paphos and additional flights to popular holiday destinations across Europe this summer," said Ryanair spokeswoman Tanja Ehrlich.
