In addition, Austrian Airlines cabin crews were also voted number 1 in Europe and among the top 20 worldwide.
At the same time, the Lufthansa Group and Austrian Airlines are investing heavily in the future at their Vienna location. The shell construction for a total of 5,000 square metres of new lounge space at Vienna Airport was handed over, which is scheduled to go into operation in 2027 with the terminal expansion of the airport.
At the same time, preparations for the renewal and expansion of Premium Economy Class are in full swing for next winter. The presentation of the new uniforms is also planned for 2027, just in time for the company’s 70th anniversary. Apart from minor adjustments, the appearance of the current uniforms has remained unchanged for 30 years.
The flight schedule has also been revised for the upcoming important summer months. Austrian Airlines will be flying to 7 new destinations from the 2026 summer schedule onwards, including the trendy destination of Ponta Delgada in the Azores, as well as Bilbao and Alicante in Spain. There is also an exciting new insider destination, namely Ohrid in North Macedonia. Bergen on the west coast of Norway invites you to enjoy a ‘coolcation’.
