Niki

Niki is an Austrian airline based in Vienna and partly owned by ex World Champion racing driver, Niki Lauda.

Niki is a hybrid airline in all senses of the word: part charter, part low cost, part scheduled service operator; part owned by Air Berlin of Germany and part owned by the eponymous Austrian Niki Lauda, part based in Vienna, part based in Salzburg, part Airbus fleet, part Embraer, but whatever goes into by way of the parts comes out with a very satisfactory whole.

For 2010 NIKI is expanding with direct flights from Vienna to Barcelona, Nice and Copenhagen from March 26th.

Flights on Niki

The airline’s summer schedule will include direct flights from Vienna to Barcelona (daily), Nice (daily), Copenhagen (daily except Saturday).

The new services are made possible by recent additions to the fleet that take the total number of planes to 17.

Flights from Vienna

The new routes in Western European will come just two months after Belgrade, Sofia and Bucharest were added on 1 February 2010.

“We’re upping the tempo, but that’s logical for us. After all I step on the gas when I spot the chance to overtake. The operating environment is good for us – one of our competitors in Vienna has disappeared, the market leader is restructuring, travellers are paying more attention to prices and I have what they are looking for. Crisis or no crisis, this is my chance and I am not going to let it pass me by!”, says Niki Lauda.

NIKI’s summer 2010 timetable offers direct flights from Vienna to the following destinations:

Innsbruck, Zurich, Munich, Frankfurt, Paris, Nice, Milan, Rome, Belgrade, Bucharest, Sofia, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Olbia, Cagliari and Moscow
