All Activity

Austrian Airlines fliegt ab 22. Juli nach Málaga, der Geburtstadt Pablo Picassos, im südspanischen Andalusien. Die Strecke wird das ganze Jahr über zweimal pro Woche mit einem Flieger aus der Airbus 320 Familie bedient. Österreichs Heimatairline verstärkt damit das touristische Angebot. Der Flugplan eignet sich bestens für ausgedehnten Sommerurlaub wie auch für ein längeres Wochenende. „Der Nachholbedarf bei touristischen Reisen ist besonders groß, deswegen bauen wir hier unser Angebot aus“, sagt Austrian Airlines CCO Michael Trestl. „Málaga ist eine fantastische weil vielseitige Destination. Neben Strandurlaub an der Costa del Sol bietet Málaga sowie die umliegende Region mit leicht erreichbaren Städten wie Granada oder Córdoba ein tolles kulturelles Angebot, das auch im Winter sehr attraktiv ist.“ Wien – Málaga / OS 385 / 9:40 – 13:00 Málaga – Wien / OS 386 / 13:45 – 16:55 Austrian Airlines will fly to Málaga in Andalusia, birthplace of Pablo Picasso, southern Spain, from 22 July. The route will be served twice a week throughout the year with an aircraft from the Airbus 320 family. Austria's home carrier is thus strengthening its tourist offer. This includes Barcelona, Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca, Gran Canaria and Tenerife. The flight schedule is ideal for extended summer holidays, as well as for a longer weekend trip. “The demand for tourist travel is particularly high, which is why we are expanding our range in destinations”, says Austrian Airlines CCO Michael Trestl. “Málaga is a fantastic destination because it is versatile. In addition to beach holidays on the Costa del Sol, Málaga and the surrounding region with easily accessible cities such as Granada or Córdoba offer a great cultural program that is also very attractive in winter.”

St. Petersburg, die am nördlichsten gelegene Millionenstadt der Welt, ist sehr bekannt für seine berühmten Weißen Nächte (Beliye Nochi) – ein atmosphärisches Phänomen, das von Ende Mai bis Mitte Juli auftritt. Während dieser Zeit sinkt die Sonne nur sehr wenig unter den Horizont, so dass der Himmel selbst nachts von einem Licht, das einem Sonnenuntergang ähnelt, beleuchtet wird. From late May to the middle of July the nights are bright in St. Petersburg, with the brightest period, the White Nights, normally lasting from end of May to the middle of July. The White Nights (Beliye Nochi) are a curious phenomenon caused by St. Petersburg's very northerly geographical location. St. Petersburg is the world's most northern city with a population over 1 million, and it stands at such a high latitude that the sun does not descend below the horizon enough for the sky to grow dark.

If you ask a Swede what traditional feast he or she loves the most, rest assured the answer will be Midsummer Eve – you can forget about Christmas or New Year’s Eve. For centuries, Swedes have celebrated this day with great celebrations throughout the bright Nordic summer night. On Midsummer Eve, Swedes meet up with friends and family to celebrate the arrival of summer. The party always takes place outdoors, and usually starts with a lunch consisting of herring with new potatoes (even though the kids often insist on hot dogs instead of herring) followed by fresh strawberries with whipped cream.

Dear Pilots, we kindly invite you to our Event called "Single Runway Operations"! This means instead of operating one runway for departures and one for arrivals, we will see departures and arrivals on a single runway. This also provides safety improvements, such as active runway crossings (especially for Zurich). When traffic is beyond our capacity, we for sure will open another runway to minimize delays on arrival and departure. Take your aircraft out of the hangar and be ready for Single Runway Operations. We are looking forward to seeing you in Austrian and Swiss skies. ATC coverage will be guaranteed flying the IVAO network, please feel free to fly VATSIM or offline as well, you will be granted the bonus points anyhow.

Summer has not officially started, but two weeks in advance you will have the chance to enjoy the first summer feelings either in Austria or in Greece. Fly between the "Island of the Winds" better known as Mykonos and one of the world's most liveable cities Vienna. We invite you to join this Dual-Way-Airbridge. Take your aircraft out of the hangar and give the controllers some work to do.
