Austrian airlines adjust flight networks for 2027 summer season

Austrian Airlines is implementing significant changes to its flight network for the summer 2027 season, including reductions in services to former Yugoslavian markets. The carrier plans to discontinue all flights to Zagreb, Croatia, and will reduce frequencies to Dubrovnik and Split. Additionally, capacity on the Vienna-Skopje route is expected to decrease by approximately 15% per month due to the increased use of smaller Embraer E195 aircraft instead of Airbus A320 and A321 models.

Separately, People’s Airline is restructuring its operations at St. Gallen-Altenrhein. Starting March 28, 2027, the airline will replace its Embraer-170 jets with Dornier 328-100 turboprop aircraft on the Altenrhein-Vienna route. This transition aims to reduce noise and CO2 emissions while better matching capacity to demand. The airline plans to increase frequency on this route to three daily flights from Monday to Friday and two on Sundays. Furthermore, People’s Airline will transition its charter business to be operated by partner airlines while maintaining destinations in collaboration with travel organizers.
