Austrian Airlines (Vienna) is making further changes at its lower-cost Tyrolean Airways (Innsubruck) subsidiary. All Austrian Airlines aircraft, except one aircraft, are now operated by Tyrolean in the Austrian brand since July 1, 2012. Boeing 777-2Z9 OE-LPB was kept on the Austrian certificate to maintain Austrian as an operating airline.
All Tyrolean aircraft maintenance and the call center functions will remain in Innsbruck. However all administrative functions will now be centered in Vienna. All crew operations and traffic control will also be concentrated in Vienna. This will result in the loss of 100 positions.
Austrian expects to turn to profitability this year.
