Austrian Airlines’ Yekaterinburg representation is going to close down soon. The company is to operate its last flights on March 26, 2010.

‘The local office has to stop operating due to economic reasons. The office employees will be offered jobs at the company’s representations in other Russian cities. This representation’s Director is also getting transferred to another place,’ the local office representative informed UrBC.

‘The instructions to this extent were delivered from the carrier’s headquarters in English,’ the office representative added.

Austrian Airlines set up an office in Yekaterinburg in 2006. The airlines’ planes operated scheduled flights from Yekaterinburg to Vienna three times a week.
