Austrian Airlines

Expansion took place in the year 2000 with the acquisition of Rheintalflug and Lauda Air, and in 2003 the carrier took over the abbreviated Austrian name. Austria suffered several years of loss throughout the whole ten-year period and in 2008 its owners, the Austrian authorities, were told to divest the carrier to a non-Austrian operator. The Lufthansa Group acquired the carrier in 2009 after having received the European Commission's clearance following an inquiry into the tender procedure.

Walter Barda-Bardenau was granted the Austrian government's consent to establish an air carrier on 3 May 1923. It acquired a one per cent stake in the recently founded Austrian Airlines (Österreichische Luftverkehrs AG), the remainder being held by Österreichische Bahn (50%) and Junkers-Werke (49%). Several destinations in Austria were operated by water planes.

Tyrolean Airways, the other airline specialising in local services, was combined with Rheintalflug. Austria was compelled to implement a strict cost-cutting strategy in October 2006 and cut over 500 jobs in 2007.

Another three Fokker 70' s were sent to Tyrolean Airways.
