Annette Mann is the boss of AUA. AUA is a plane company. She talks about short flights in Austria. These flights go to places like Klagenfurt and Wien. Also Graz and Innsbruck have these flights.
These flights bring little money to the company. The company loses money sometimes. But Annette Mann wants to keep the flights. The flights help local firms. This is called 'Stand-Ort-Sicherung'. It means jobs stay in the area.
The price for flight tickets will rise. One reason is the fuel for planes. This fuel is called 'Kerosin'. The prices rise because of problems in other countries.
AUA has a new cheap offer. The name is 'Economy Basic'. You cannot take a small bag with you. AUA wants to offer lower prices this way.
