The Cypriot airline Tus Airways is increasing its flight offer on the Tel Aviv - Vienna route. From January 8, 2025, the airline will offer daily connections, whereas previously five weekly flights were operated. The expansion takes place against the backdrop of the current market situation, as the Lufthansa Group - including Austrian Airlines - has suspended its flights to Israel until at least January 31.
The airline, whose fleet consists of three Airbus A320s, gained a new majority investor in November 2024. The entrepreneurs Ami Cohen and Arnon Englander currently hold 75 percent of the shares and also have the option to take over the remaining shares. By increasing flight frequencies, Tus Airways is responding to the increased demand on the connection between Israel and Austria.
The expansion of flight capacity could strengthen Tus Airways' market position, particularly at a time when competitors have temporarily suspended their activities.
