Due to delivery problems:
AUA examines longer use of older Boeing jets
Because the switch to new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner long-haul aircraft is at risk of being delayed, Austrian Airlines (AUA) is now considering flying longer with the existing Boeing 767s (pictured above).
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen "It currently looks as if the arrival of the 'Dreamliners' will be delayed due to the known delivery problems at Boeing and other suppliers in the supply chain," said AUA CEO Michael Trestl, who is moving to ITA Airways in Rome on February 1.
Extension of deployment being examined
The AUA press office explained on request that an extension of the deployment of the Boeing 767 is currently being examined "in order to have a backup in the event that the arrival of the other Dreamliners is actually delayed".
AUA has already been operating two used Dreamliners since 2024. A total of eleven Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners are to replace the existing long-haul aircraft of the 777 and 767 series at the Lufthansa subsidiary by 2028.
Manufacturer Boeing is in crisis
The US aircraft manufacturer Boeing is in crisis and is having massive problems delivering new aircraft on time. It is still unclear when the next Dreamliner aircraft can be delivered to AUA.
