Description
Austrian Airlines AUA, part of the German Lufthansa Group, is to hire 150 new employees in the upcoming year. New staff will operate a new Boeing 777 aircraft which will serve long-distance destinations such as Tokyo and Capetown in 2018. Of the 150 employees, around 30 will be pilots.
Compared with the summer of 2016, when the aircraft carrier ran short of staff, Austrian Airlines now employs 440 more workers than in the previous year. In autumn of 2016, Tokyo was cancelled from the aircraft's flight plan, but since the Japanese market and currency have recovered, its capital will be serviced again soon, according to the CCO of Austrian Airlines.
