Austrian Airlines from ORD
Question:
How many years ago did Austrian stop flying out of ORD? They currently fly out of JFK and IAD, and Toronto I think. Does any one know why they dumped ORD and kept two East Coast hubs? I would have thought they would dump one East Coast hub and keep the central hub. JFK and IAD are not that far apart. Pete

JFK is a good destination for any airline. Business and tourism. IAD is the OS hub for connecting flights in the US. lg Gernot

I am not sure I buy that logic. ORD is an outstanding hub in the USA for connections, and is United’s #1 hub. This is important because United is the only connection Austrian has in the USA. I would have thought they would keep JFK and ORD and dump IAD. I am not the only person who feels that IAD is not United’s best hub.
