Austrian Airlines Assures Adequate Jet-Fuel Supplies for Summer Peak, Keeps Middle-East Routes Suspended
Austrian Airlines confirmed on 6 May that Vienna Airport will have sufficient jet fuel for the summer rush even as high prices and Middle-East instability forced the carrier to suspend nine Gulf routes. Capacity will be redeployed on intra-European services, limiting disruption for most Austrian travellers but lengthening journeys to the Gulf region. Corporate travel managers should budget for higher fares and possible re-routing, while policymakers face renewed calls to diversify fuel supplies.
