Austrian Airlines Launches Winter ViennaDubai Trial on A320neo

The carrier casts the three-month test as a price-led use of idle winter capacity.

Overview

  • The trial runs from December 1, 2025 to March 2026 with five weekly nonstops operated as OS89/OS90 on overnight rotations.
  • Return fares start at €314 in economy and €699 in business under the “Dubai Deal” promotion.
  • The route uses a 180-seat A320neo in a 3-3 intra-Europe layout with no seatback entertainment, though Wi‑Fi and power are available at most seats.
  • CEO Annette Mann says flying otherwise idle jets is the goal and continuation beyond March depends on commercial performance.
  • Using a narrowbody on the 2,626-mile sector mirrors moves by airBaltic, ITA Airways, Aegean and Wizz Air on Europe–Dubai services.
