“With the red-white-red tail fin and “Austria” in our name, Austrian Airlines became one of the most important brand ambassadors of the country. We currently fly direct to ten metropolitan regions with populations of more than ten million people,” said Andreas Otto, CCO of Austrian Airlines. “That means we secure Austria’s link to global commercial centres and tourist destinations. We are therefore proving, once again, that Austrian Airlines is a huge factor in the Austrian export economy. Something like 50 percent of domestic exports, measured by value, is now being transported by air.”
As one of Austria’s top companies, with more than 6,000 employees and an extensive supply chain both at home and abroad, Austrian Airlines safeguards jobs and adds value both in the aviation sector and the domestic export economy as a whole. Austrian Airlines transports volumes of around 68.000 million tons of freight and post consignments a year. The freight capacities of the company’s 71 passenger aircraft are used in addition to this. A majority of the transport volume consists of export goods which Austrian Airlines moves around the world in approximately 121,000 flights a year. With 384 billion sold freight ton kilometres in 2014, Austrian Airlines is one of the leading companies in the air freight sector in Austria. The route network of Austrian Airlines includes around 130 destinations worldwide, 40 of which are in Central and Eastern Europe alone.
