An Austrian Airline Launches Maribor-Paris Route
Print this page
Maribor, 16 January

An Austrian air carrier is launching a new route between Slovenia and France on Monday. Styrian Spirit will operate flights on the new route from Monday to Saturday, with all flights making a stop in Austria's Salzburg.

A Canadair CRJ200 will take off from Slovenia's Maribor at 7 AM and land at Charles de Gaulle at 9.40 AM.
The return flight will leave Paris at 6.30 PM and land at Maribor at 8.50 PM from Monday to Friday. On Saturday, the 50-seat plane will take off at 11 AM and land in Maribor at 1.30 PM.
After 23 January, Styrian Spirit will also fly the route on Sundays, taking off from Maribor at 3.25 PM and landing at Paris at 6 PM.
Return tickets will be available from EUR 199 plus airport tax.
The introduction of the new air route is according to the CEO of Styrian Spirit, Otmar Lenz, an important step in the development of the company.
The flights from the Maribor airport will introduce the Austrian company to the Slovenian market, where Lenz sees considerable opportunities for business.
The Maribor airport is in majority ownership of the Slovenian company Prevent, which also has a stake in Styrian Spirit.
Moreover, the Slovenian airport is only 55 km away from Graz, the capital of the Austrian province of Styria, which is why the company expects the route to be used by Austrians as well.
Styrian Spirit will be the third airline flying from Slovenia to Paris, as Air France and Slovenia's Adria Airways also operate that route from the national Brnik airport.
