-After the Austrian Airlines Group has undertaken measures to stabilize Slovak Airlines, we want to continue developing the company. Our shareholding and our interest in the privatization of Bratislava airport are underlining our intention to further develop the Slovak market according to its favourable growth potential dynamically, says Thomas Kleibl, Chief Financial Officer of the Austrian Airlines Group.
The Austrian Airlines Group currently provides six weekly nonstop services from Bratislava to Brussels. From February onwards, four additional evening-flights and five morning-flights will be offered between Bratislava and Brussels. This results in an increase to nine frequencies per week on this route. In addition Austrian Airlines offers eleven weekly flights between Vienna and Kosice.
