"After  three intensive years with Austrian Airlines, this step is 
designed to  enable  a  new beginning  at  the  company,  including  
at  the  level  of  management.  Having cooperated closely with my  
colleagues  on  the  Board  of  Management  and  the Supervisory 
Board while introducing  the  necessary  change  of  course  towards 
partnership, I am glad that the privatisation  has  now  moved  into 
its  final stages with Lufthansa, the best possible partner for the 
Austrian Airlines Group."

following:  "I would like to thank Alfred Ötsch for his commitment 
over the past  three  years, particularly the  constructive

process. With the support of management, it has eventually  proved 
possible to achieve a long-term and above all sustainable solution 
for Austrian Airlines."
