Employees of Austrian Airlines spontaneously proclaimed ‘#redstockingsday’ on 19 June 2015, by wearing red socks for a good cause for a day. 351 employees took part in the campaign, buying red stockings and socks provided by uniform supplier Wagner & Glass. EUR 1,755 were collected in the campaign. The donation handed over to ROTE NASEN Clown doctors (http://www.rotenasen.at)

The uniformed employees of Austrian Airlines recently decided the unmistakable red stockings should remain part of the future uniform, which is to be introduced in 2016. Administrative and technical employees – the staff who deal with everyday working life without red stockings on – wanted to make their mark as well.

Sabine Mlnarsky, Head of Human Resources at Austrian Airlines, said this: “I’m pleased to see a huge readiness to help being demonstrated here. At the end of the day, the campaign was also a sign of solidarity with our uniformed staff.” Austrian CFO Heinz Lachinger, who is himself a convinced red socks wearer, continued: “The level of identification with the company amongst staff is incredibly high here, and red stockings have become our trademark. Both things make us unique.”

Austrian Airlines employs around 6,000 people, 3,500 of whom wear the red uniform, including 2,700 female flight attendants and Station employees who wear the unmistakable red stockings and red shoes.

Western Sydney Airport Welcomes Its First Plane After 6 Years of construction

Western Sydney Airport Welcomes Its First Plane After 6 Years of construction

In a historic milestone for Australia’s aviation sector, the first plane has officially taken off and landed at Western Sydney Airport after six years of construction, much to the delight of a small but enthusiastic group of dedicated planespotters.

A test pilot made the inaugural landing using a Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche, successfully completing a series of take-off and landing runs on the newly built tarmac. This crucial test paves the way for larger passenger aircraft, which are expected to start using the runway in two years.

The Piper PA-30 was employed to assess the airport’s approximately 3,000 Aeronautical Ground Lights (AGLs) by executing operations in various conditions, including daylight, dusk, and evening. This testing ensures that the lighting system is fit for purpose and ready to welcome aircraft when the airport opens to commercial flights in late 2026.

The pilot also highlighted that the rapid exit taxiways have been designed at a 45-degree angle, allowing for quicker transitions on and off the runway. Once operational, the airport will feature a single runway capable of handling up to 10 million passengers annually right from day one.

As the construction phase nears completion, the airport’s main terminal, apron, and supporting infrastructure will be ready to accommodate around 81,000 flights each year. This milestone marks a significant moment for Western Sydney Airport, the first new airport to open in Australia since Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport more than two decades ago.

Major airlines, including Qantas and Jetstar, have already committed to operating from the 24/7 facility, signaling strong support for this new hub. By 2033, the airport aims to handle up to 10 million passengers and facilitate extensive air traffic movements annually.
