About Lauda

Lauda, which is legally known as Laudamotion GmbH, is an Austrian airline that operates scheduled passenger services throughout Europe. The airline was founded in 2004 and is based at Vienna International Airport (VIE). Laudamotion has a route network that flies over 100 destinations in more than 30 countries.

In 2019, Lauda changed its trading name from 'Laudamotion' to Lauda, which is what it is known as today. Along with this rebrand, Lauda announced that it intends to expand its fleet to 38 Airbus A320 aircraft by summer 2020.
