On-Board Austrian Airlines

In 1995, when Austria regained sovereignty over its airspace with the signature of the State Treaty, what came into existence were Air Austria and Austrian Airways. Till this point, neither of the airline companies began operating its flights. 4th April 1957 was a historic day as the two companies finally merged to form Austrian Airlines.
