Austrian Airlines to Stop Mumbai Operations

Mumbai: The Austrian Airlines today joined AirAsiaX to announce its move to quit a part of its operations in and out of the country by deciding to discontinue the Mumbai-Vienna sector from March 25.
"Austrian Airlines confirms that the Mumbai-Vienna flight will be suspended from March 25 due to the challenging economic situation. The airline remains committed to its Indian customers and will continue its sales activities in the market. Also, our six-times weekly flights in the Delhi-Vienna sector remain unchanged," the airline said in a statement.
Customers travelling from Mumbai to Europe can connect to Europe and beyond on Austrian's partner airlines Lufthansa and Swiss with 21 weekly flights from Mumbai via Frankfurt, Munich and Zurich, the airline spokesman added.
"From the summer of 2012 onwards, we shall be sharply increasing flight frequencies to our core markets in Eastern Europe, and building up capacity to the Middle East in a trade-off with the destination of Mumbai," said Austrian's executive board member Andreas Bierwirth in a statement.
