Tyrolean Airways - Tiroler Luftfahrt GesmbH is an airline based in Innsbruck, Austria. It is a member of the Austrian Airlines Group and Star Alliance, and uses the name Austrian Arrows in its corporate group. Its main base is Innsbruck Airport, with a hub at Vienna International Airport.^[1]

[edit] History

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 partly 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. It has 1,599 employees.^[1]
