The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. ——————————————————————————– Austrian Airlines ground handling contract extended to 2006 Building on the successful completion of negotiations with British Airways and Deutsche Lufthansa, Flughafen Wien AG announces it has secured the ground handling contract with the Austrian Airlines Group. This has been extended until end of 2006. These negotiations also include the harmonisation of individual handling agreements with Austrian Airlines, Lauda Air, Tyrolean Airways and Rheintalflug into a single group contract. As with British Airways (contract lasting until end of 2003) and Lufthansa (contract to end of 2004), the quality of services provided by Flughafen Wien AG was the decisive factor in the decision to extend this contract. Vienna International Airport is the fastest hub in Europe with a guaranteed 25- minute minimum connecting time, and is also a leader in turnaround and on-time performance.
