The carrier flew the 737 as recently as 2012.When you look at Austrian Airlines’ fleet today, there is a clear divide between what it uses Airbus and Boeing aircraft for.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The carrier deploys Airbus narrowbodies on its short-haul network while giving its Boeing widebodies to longer-haul destinations. However, it also operated to fly a Boeing narrowbody family: the 737.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Austrian Airlines <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to data from ch-aviation.com, Austrian Airlines <\/a>flew a whole of 10 Boeing 737 family aircraft in the late 2000s and earlier 2010s. This figure included three variants, of which the smallest in size (and joint-smallest in number) was the 737-600. Two of these short-fuselage twinjets were part of Austrian’s fleet at this time.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first 737-600 to join the Austrian flag carrier bore the registration OE-LNM. It came on board in April 2008, having previously flown for Lauda Air under the exact registration since May 2000. Despite being just 12 years old upon leaving Austrian in March 2012, it was scrapped shortly after, having stocked 19,725 flight hours.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next year, OE-LNL reached on board in December 2009. This twinjet had also begun its career at Lauda Air in May 2000. However, its service life saw slightly more variety, as it flew for the US Navy as N743NV between December 2012 and October 2009. After just over two years at Austrian, it was also scrapped in July 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

737-600s Austrian <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alongside the aforementioned pair of 737-600s Austrian also flew two mid-sized Boeing 737-700s in the late 2000s and early 2010s. The first of these was a 2001-built sample that bore the registration OE-LNN. It came onboard from Lauda Air in April 2008 and left Austrian Airlines<\/a> after just over four years in May 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
