Financial Result of the Austrian Airlines Group for 1st Half-year 
2007
The Chief Executive Officer of the Austrian Airlines Group, Alfred  
Ötsch,  made the following statement today to mark  the  release  of 
the  Group's  half-year results: 'The operating result (EBIT) 
improved significantly in the first  half-
year compared to the same period in 2006, rising from       EUR  -41.0m  to  EUR
-2.9m, a positive upward trend. We have decided upon and  implemented  a  number
of important new directions. These  include  cancelling  unprofitable  long-haul
destinations, putting in place the associated staffing measures  and 
completing the valuation of our Airbus A330 fleet. Both our  quality 
offensive  and  Focus East strategy have been consistently expanded. 
The significant  improvements  in our EBIT in the first half-year and
second quarter  show  that  we  are  on  the right course. Despite 
this,  the  financial  year  2007  should  be  seen  as  a
transitional  year,  when  the  positive  effects   of   the   cancellation   of
unprofitable destinations have still to fully impact the  operating  result  and
it has not yet been possible  to  reduce  the  total  remaining  costs.  We  are
progressing according to plan, and striving  to  generate  a  profit  that  will
justify our paying a dividend by 2009.´
