History [edit]
The airline was established in 1978 as Aircraft Innsbruck by Gernot Langes-Swarovski and Christian Schwemberger-Swarovski. It adopted the title Tyrolean Airways when scheduled services began on 1 April 1980. The airline was acquired by Austrian Airlines in March 1998. In 2003, as part of an effort by its parent company to consolidate its brand, the fleet was rebranded as Austrian Arrows with livery changed to match that of Austrian Airlines. Airline operations, however, continued to operate independently by Tyrolean from its Innsbruck base. Tyrolean was the only airline to operate Dash 7 airplanes into the dangerous Courchevel Airport in France.
From 1 July 2012 all flights of the Austrian Airlines Group are carried out by Tyrolean Airways. Consequently, "arrows" was dropped from the name. The entire fleet and staff of Austrian Airlines (approximately 460 pilots and 1,500 pursers) were transferred to Tyrolean. All Austrian flights are now being "operated by Tyrolean", but have maintained their OS-Flight numbers.
Destinations [edit]
Tyrolean Airways operates services to six destinations in Austria and 72 destinations in Europe.[2]
