Austrian Airlines
There appears to be some talk about the Austrian Airlines Group planning to withdraw its 777 services to Sydney and Melbourne in the not so distant future.
This surprises me as their Seat Factor is very high and
they have very competitive costs when compared to Qantas and British Airways.
The other competition comes from Emirates and Malaysian.
Additionally it is the fastest way to Europe and they are in fact the cheapest.
If this is a move to reduce their profit loss and the ever increasing fuel prices why are they not raising fares
and delay their business class sleeper seat refurbishment.
Does anyone have some information on whether this rumour is true ?
Maybe Lauda should have remained as he is a successful businessman
