Austrian Airlines will end service to London City Airport, the airline said today. It is also axing is flights to Chicago and cutting back on flights to New York, Washington, Mumbai because of soaring jet fuel costs. The airline will also raise fuel surcharges on most tickets booked after July 15.
Austrian will no longer serve London City after August 18, the airline said in a statement. Its flights to Chicago will cease later this year, when it also will also eliminate two weekly flights to Mumbai, New York and Washington. It will also cut back on services to several European cities yet to be determined in early 2009.
The airline's CEO, Alfred Oetsch, called the move a ‘purposeful reaction’ to record fuel costs troubling the industry. No redundancies are planned, he said.
