Social Responsibility

Austrian Airlines hat derzeit rund 6.000 Mitarbeiter. Mit den Sozialpartnern setzen wir uns aktiv für die Anliegen und Bedürfnisse der Belegschaft ein. Talentierte Teams sind ein Schlüssel zum Erfolg.

Fair working conditions

In 2018, Austrian Airlines raised its wages for cabin crew, particularly entry-level salaries for flight attendants and supervisors. The new agreement is valid until 2022, providing current and prospective employees with new longer-term opportunities by strengthening a sense of stability and transparency. Wages for cabin crew are to increase by 5.5% in 2018, 2.5% in 2019, 1.8% in 2020 and at least 2.4% in 2021. Decent wages are an inherent part of dignified working conditions and therefore of our corporate culture, which is reflected in the quality of our service.

Personal development

Our employees’ talents, competencies and know-how are the foundation for our success and allow us to provide first class service. To better harness our employees’ talents, we promote a corporate culture based on partnership and characterized by fair pay, transparency, tolerance, and respect in dealing with each other. Not only do we insist on fair treatment for our employees, but we also ensure access to a range of skills development workshops and networking initiatives.

Social sponsoring

As a member of Lufthansa Group, we support the Group’s charitable organization “Help Alliance”, which focuses on education and child development. All projects under its auspices are designed in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as well as with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in mind.

All projects are funded via voluntary contributions which are deducted from employee salaries as requested. One of the main projects implemented to date involved the establishment of an elementary school in Cape Town and generated an investment of more than a million euros.

We have also partnered up with the national environment organization GLOBAL 2000 to support children suffering from severe health issues in the wake of the Chernobyl disaster.
