Austrian Airlines has completed the refitting of a total of 32 aircraft of the Airbus A320 family and Boeing 737 type with the new interior design and new, modern leather seats. Austrian Airlines finished refitting the 21 aircraft of its A320 family with the new cabin furnishings in July 2011. Since today, all eleven aircraft of the type Boeing 737 have been fitted with the new interior design and innovative leather seats. This will be followed in the first half of 2012 by the A320 aircraft which Austrian Airlines only incorporated into its fleet in the course of this year.
The core element of the new cabin is a completely redeveloped seat constructed from new, light materials. The seat’s innovative construction gives passengers – there will be minor differences in this case, depending on the aircraft type – up to 10 cm more space for the legs and knees. The new seat, which is covered with high-value leather, also takes up less space, meaning an average of almost 5 more seats can be installed in each aircraft. Also, the new seat offers a range of different benefits: the seat is between 3 and 5 kilos lighter than its predecessor. This allows Austrian Airlines to reduce the overall weight of its aircraft, cutting kerosene consumption and providing an environmental benefit.
The colour of the new design differs clearly from the previous Austrian image. The seats and carpeting are to be in an elegant grey, set off by accents in a typically Austrian red.
The next step is to follow in the winter of 2012/2013, when Austrian Airlines will refit the cabins of its long-haul aircraft. The airline will also refit the ten aircraft of types Boeing 777 and 767 with new, modern Economy seats, a new in-flight entertainment system and new lie-flat Business Class seats. The overall interior design of the aircraft will be given a new optical design, and adjusted to the color concept of the new Europe cabin.
Austrian Airlines in Bosnia
Austrian Airlines operates a route network of 130 destinations worldwide. Passengers from Sarajevo can take one of the two daily flights to Vienna. The company’s hub at Vienna International Airport is the ideal gateway between East and West. After their landing in Vienna, passengers have access to the biggest European flight network served out of a single hub: Austrian Airlines offer flights to over 100 destinations in Europe and long haul flights to Astana, Tokyo, Beijing, Bangkok, Delhi, Dubai, Mumbai, Male or to New York, Washington DC and Toronto. With a short connecting time of only 25 minutes, passengers and their luggage switch to their connecting flight easily and without any hustle. This clearly helps passengers to save time on their trip.
