Austrian Airlines: Route Expansion in Canada

Austrian Airlines expands their Air Canada - Montreal codeshare routes from April 2019 on. 

Austrian Airlines has announced a new, year-round daily flight to Montréal (YUL).  It will launch from its base in Vienna.  This new flight to YUL means that the Lufthansa Group, to which Austrian Airlines belong, offers numerous flights to the Quebec region.

.

Planned codeshare routes from 29 April 2019:

Austrian flights are operated by Air Canada

Montreal – Calgary 

Montreal – Halifax 

Montreal – Ottawa

Montreal – Vancouver

Montreal – Winnipeg

The service will be operated by the carrier’s Boeing 767-300(ER) aircraft on a daily basis throughout the Summer, and then five times per week during the Winter season.

With this change, Austrian, Lufthansa, and Swiss will all be flying to Montreal, from Frankfurt, Munich, Vienna, and Zurich.  Austrian has a fairly small long-haul fleet, so not surprisingly, this new route is coming at the expense of another destination.  Austrian will discontinue flights between Vienna and Toronto as of April 2019.

Austrian Airlines AG, sometimes shortened to Austrian, is the flag carrier of Austria and a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group.
