Austrian Airlines to double Dubai service
From autumn 2008 onwards, due to healthy demand for the service, Austrian Airlines will begin operating twice-daily direct connections to Dubai. Due to the new flight times on both services, Austrian has provided the best possible connections for business passengers and for tourists travelling to and from Western and Eastern Europe, and the optimum times for passengers from Austria and Dubai.

Austrian currently offers one daily direct flight to Dubai, which operates using a Boeing 737 with 16 fixed Business Class comfort seats. From 29 September, however, the departure time will be changed and an Airbus A320 featuring the new Premium Service concept deployed on the night flight. In the Business Class section, the new aircraft will be fitted with 24 Business Sleeper Seats made by Recaro.

From 13 November onwards, moreover, a new daytime flight to Dubai will enter service. This will operate until 15 March 2009 using a Boeing 737-800, with high-value inflight service provided. From 16 March 2009, this flight will operate using a converted Airbus A320.
