CEO Alfred Ötsch to take over responsibilities
Thomas Kleibl, 48, Chief Financial Officer  of  Austrian  Airlines  
AG  since  1 October 2001, has informed the Chairman of the 
Supervisory Board  that  he  will be resigning from his post at the 
next meeting of the Supervisory Board on  12 March 2008. Subject to 
the agreement of the Supervisory  Board,  the  Chief Executive 
Officer, Alfred Ötsch, will take  over  Mr.  Kleibl's 
responsibilities  on  the Board of Management.
Dr. Peter Michaelis, Chairman of  the  Supervisory  Board,  said  the
following about Mr. Kleibl's decision: "We regret the resignation of 
Mr. Kleibl. During  a period of great change  at  Austrian  Airlines,
Mr.  Kleibl  demonstrated  huge commitment  and  specialist  
knowledge  and  implemented   important   measures, including the 
reduction of the net debt of the Group  by  EUR  1.4  billion.  He 
made a decisive contribution to putting the organisation where it  
finds  itself today, in a position where it enjoys a significantly 
stronger capital  structure and is once again generating positive 
operating results."
Mr. Alfred Ötsch, a proven financial expert in his own  right,  will 
take  over the responsibilities of Mr. Kleibl. The Board  of  
Management  continues  to  be occupied by decisionmakers of the very 
highest calibre in its two  new  members, Dr. Peter Malanik (since 1 
January 2008)  and  Dr.  Andreas  Bierwirth  (from  1 April 2008). 
Mr. Kleibl himself will remain  available  to  the  company  in  an 
advisory  and  support  role  throughout  this  period  of  
transition  of   his responsibilities to Mr. Ötsch.
