Austrian Airlines is the flag carrier of Austria, operating scheduled passenger and cargo services to destinations across Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The airline traces its origins to the merger of two Austrian carriers in 1957 and has grown into one of Central Europe's leading airlines.
