DHL Express recently launched its new cargo airline DHL Air Austria, headquartered at Vienna airport. The inauguration flight of the first registered Boeing 757 under Austrian flag also took place in the presence of key partners from the Austrian government. The airline will handle European cargo flights with 18 Boeing 757 aircraft and 176 pilots.

"With this important step, we are making our air freight network in Europe more flexible and stable, while at the same time continuing to meet our customers' high demand for cross-border express deliveries and providing them with sufficient capacity," says Ralf Schweighöfer, chief executive officer of DHL Express Austria.

The employees at the Vienna International Airport will manage the airline's daily operations, from crew scheduling and flight planning to crew training. They are also responsible for safety, quality, compliance and the planning of aircraft maintenance, the company said in a press release.
