About Austrian Airlines
<b>Austrian Airlines - phot wallpapers:</b> Austrian Airlines (Österreichische Luftverkehrs AG) is the flag carrier airline of Austria, with its headquarters in Vienna. Its main base is Vienna International Airport (VIE). The airline was founded on 30 September 1957, making its maiden flight on 18 March 1958 when a Vickers Viscount 779 took off from Vienna for London, England.
Austrian Airlines was formed through the merger of Air Austria and
Austrian Airways. The airline's transatlantic services began on 1 April 1969 with a Vienna to Brussels and New York service in co-operation with Sabena. Austrian Airlines is owned by ÖIAG (39.7%), floating stock (43.5%), Austrian institutional investors (10.3%) and Air France (1.5%). It also wholly owns subsidiary airlines, Austrian Arrows and Lauda Air and has a 62% share in Slovak Airlines. On 1 October 2004
the Flight Operations Departments of Austrian and Lauda Air were merged
into a single unit, leaving Lauda Air as a brand name only for charter
flights. It had 5,163 employees at January 2005. In 2006 Austrian dominates the market for flights from/to Central- and Eastern Europe. Austrian's longest routes are from Vienna to Melbourne and Sydney, Australia, via Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, respectively, which will end on March 25, 2007....
