For the seventh consecutive year,
the Romanian National Tourist Office names Austrian Airlines
as “the Designated, Preferred Air Carrier for Travel from America to Romania”

(New York, January 2, 2008) Building upon a working relationship that has become increasingly successful since it began in 2002, the Romanian National Tourist Office has again named Austrian Airlines as “the designated, preferred air carrier for travel from America to Romania” in 2008. This announcement was confirmed jointly today by Mr. Simion Alb, the director of the Romanian National Tourist Office (RoNTO), and Mr. Paul Paflik, Austrian Airlines’ General Manager – The Americas. Both are based in New York.

According to Simion Alb of RoNTO, the Romanian Tourist Office has received consistently positive feedback about Austrian Airlines’ service from individuals, families, travel agents and tour operators. “We look forward to expanding our working relationship with Austrian Airlines even further in the future to include more of continental Europe, which is well served by Austrian Airlines, as well as other global points of origin also served by the Austrian Airlines Group, such as Tokyo, Osaka, Beijing, Sydney and Kuala Lumpur.”

“Of course, we are pleased that Austrian Airlines has been given this preferred designation by the Romanian National Tourist Office. Austrian Airlines has frequent service, via Vienna, to Bucharest, Cluj, Sibiu, Timisoara and Iasi” said Paul Paflik of Austrian Airlines. “We look forward to working with individuals, families or travel professionals who are planning travel to Romania from America — or anywhere.”
