Austrian Airlines Makes a Half Century
We weren't quite sure about Austrian Airlines when they started offering a big brown to passengers, but we've figured out it's just a bad name for a good coffee. So we'll be nice to Austrian Airlines today because the carrier's celebrating its 50th birthday.
The airline has seen a whole heap of changes in that half-century, with initial flights all heading west to destinations like London, Frankfurt and Paris. These days, the focus is on building up flights into central and eastern Europe as well as Russia, and with flights to Riyadh and Jeddah starting in August, the Middle East is a big target area as well.
And in another piece of Austrian Airlines good news, they should move into the new Skylink terminal at Vienna's airport in the summer of 2009. They might not sell big browns there but they should be able to make connection times short and painless. Happy birthday, Austrian Airlines!
