Start-up Launches Altenrhein – Vienna Route

Austrian-registered start-up carrier People’s Vienna Line has acquired a former Finnair Embraer 170-100LR and launched services from St Gallen-Altenrhein Airport to Vienna. The airline, backed by the local authority of the Swiss regional facility, Airport Altenrhein AG, inaugurated the link to the Austrian capital on March 28, offering three flights every weekday and a single rotation at weekends.

The route is presently served by Austrian Airlines’ regional subsidiary Tyrolean Airways up to 18 times per week under the Austrian Arrows brand. More than 55,000 O+D passengers travelled between the two cities in the past year and the start-up is trying to stimulate the market by initially offering competitive fares alongside special ticketing promotions. The average fare on the route in the past year was $233.
