Launching new European airline in Austria


DHL Express has announced its new roadmap for the future set-up of its European aviation network. In a first step, the provider will create a new cargo airline in Austria, where it is already serving Linz airport (photo). The company is in the process of filing applications with the Austrian authorities.

 

Subject to approval of those applications, the aim is for the new airline to be established and operational later this year. It will operate intra-European flight services, using a fleet of B757 freighter aircraft which are to be transferred from DHL Air UK.

 

In turn, DHL Air UK will develop into its new role as an intercontinental airline, expanding its B767 operations and adding new B777Fs into its fleet. The plan is for the carrier based at East Midlands airport to commence its B777 operations in early 2022. (ah)
