In its meeting held today, the Supervisory Board of Austrian
Airlines AG reached a decision to advertise two new positions on
the company's Board of Management in accordance with the Law on
Staffing. Under the overall leadership of CEO Alfred Ötsch and in
addition to CFO Thomas Kleibl, the existing Board of Management will
acquire two new members as a result of the change.

Working on the strength of recommendations made in an analysis
carried out by the consultancy Directure, the Supervisory Board
decided that Austrian Airlines will be managed in future by a Board
of Management consisting of four people. Dr. Peter Michaelis,
Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Austrian Airlines, made the
following comment: "There are benefits of reuniting Technical
Services and Operations under the overall management of just one
person - the COO. In addition to this, we believe that for a
service provider such as Austrian Airlines, it is both sensible
and forward-looking to assign the field of marketing and sales
(Commercial) a separate member of the Board of Management to cover
the market side of our business. The increasingly aggressive
market environment and ever more complex nature of the airline
business also need to be reflected in our management structure
through their own member of the Board. This will also create the
best possible conditions for ensuring AUA continues to function as
an independent company from its small domestic market."

As a result of the change, two additional Board of Management
positions will be advertised, for the Commercial (CCO) and
Operations (COO) Divisions. Human resources consultant Spencer
Stuart has been commissioned to carry out the search for both
new positions. Following expiry of the application deadline of four
weeks, the positions will both be filled as quickly as possible.
