Emirates pushes for additional capacity on Vienna route

Dubai: Emirates Airline expressed its optimism in increasing capacity on Dubai-Vienna routes as its move faces resistance.

“Emirates is confident that from 27th March 2011, a total of 13 flights per week will be operated from Vienna to Dubai in response to a high demand for our services,” an Emirates spokesperson told Gulf News when asked to comment on the issue.

“Talks continue with the Austrian authorities to resolve a technical disagreement concerning the air services agreement between the UAE and Austria and our additional flights, which passengers have booked on, Emirates has invested in promoting and hired new staff for.”

Emirates is a strong partner for Austria, supporting business, trade, exports and tourism - not only within Austria, but throughout our network of destinations. Key stakeholders in Austria agree the additional flights will be an important boost to the Austrian economy, the statement said.

“We have carried more than a million passengers since our flights started to Vienna in 2004 and we look forward to offering greater choice to customers with the additional 6 weekly flights, while satisfying clear demand.”
