AUG 05, 2004 (newstodate): Austrian Airlines Group carried a total of 69,000 cargo during this year's H1, up 15 percent on last year.
The increase is attributed to the strengthened focus on routes to Eastern and Central Europe, and the opening of new lnghaul flights to the Far East.
-The beginning of our specialisation and expansion offensive has been a success, introducing 112 additional flights to Central and Eastern Europe every week - bringing the total to 471 weekly flights to the region - and inaugurating services to Shanghai and Singapore, says Vagn Sorensen, Austrian Airlines Group CEO.
-Now, in a second stage, we will be working to establish ourselves more strongly in Central and Eastern Europe through programme expansions and deeper cooperation agreements in an attempt to build upon our market leadership in the region.
-Both our offensive drive and our motivation to transform Vienna into one of the most important European hubs making best possible use of our geopolitical advantages are now becoming irresistible. While the restructuring and the necessary market specialisation of the Austrian Airlines Group are not yet complete, we are well on our way, says Mr Sorensen, commenting on the half-year results.
