Niki (also styled as NIKI or flyNiki, legally NIKI Luftfahrt GmbH) was[1] an Austrian low-cost airline headquartered in Office Park I at Vienna Airport in Schwechat.[2][3] It operated scheduled and charter services to European and North African leisure destinations from Vienna, Salzburg, Graz and Innsbruck and also started services from several German airports in March 2017. Niki had a variety of owners, including two stints of ownership under Niki Lauda (1949–2019). In January 2018, the airline was acquired by Lauda, an airline that also had ties to Niki Lauda.[4]
