Lauda going?

[newscaster]

Have Austrian Airlines decided to drop the Lauda brand name completely? they had planned to retain the leisure division with 737s.

Yes. Take a look at http://www.laudaair.com.au/

Now that Niki Lauda (for those who don't know ex-Formula 1 Austrian racing champion and Austrian national hero) has got his Niki airline going, Austrian Airlines, who bought his previous airline Lauda Air from him some years ago, are not going to want the brand name around any longer.
