Due to the weak booking situation, Austrian Airlines will discontinue connections to Nuremberg and Leipzig from November 2020. The parent company Lufthansa announced a few days ago that the group-wide capacity will be cut back sharply.

This also has consequences for the fleet: the DHC Dash 8-400, Embraer 195 and Airbus A319 will form the backbone on the short and medium-haul routes. The A320 machines are only kept available as a backup. Boeing 767-300ERs are primarily used on long-haul routes. Scheduled flights with Boeing 777 are not planned. Regardless of the current low demand, the company is sticking to the imminent phasing out of the Airbus A319 and DHC Dash 8-400, like Aviation Direct reported.

Austrian Airlines also confirmed that Odessa, Lyon, Lviv, Iasi and Chisinau will also be discontinued. However, there is also a new addition: Moscow-Domodedowo will be offered again from Vienna after a month-long break. According to a company spokesman, Linz-Düsseldorf will not be recorded on November 2, 2020, but only in mid-January 2021.

In Graz, on the other hand, there are reductions on the routes to Stuttgart and Düsseldorf. Group parent Lufthansa will be temporary Vienna-Munich set. However, the AUA flights are not affected.
