Reason: According to the information in the article on Wikipedia.at, the Laudamotion ceased operations in 2020, the last flight was carried out in October 2020. Laudamotion no longer has a homepage, it is listed as a "former airline" in the list "Airlines from Austria" on Wikipedia.at. Therefore, the existence of the article in Wikipedia makes sense, but not with Wikivoyage because Wikivoyage is a travel portal and former and / or inactive airlines cannot be used for travel. |

The Laudamotion is a Austrian Airline based on the Airport Wien-Schwechat. So far, it has only offered a few connections; regular scheduled flight operations began on June 1, 2018.
history
The Laudamotion essentially emerged from the former airline Niki, which was a subsidiary of the former airline Air Berlin. After Air Berlin filed for bankruptcy, contrary to the original information, Niki also went bankrupt. After the German Lufthansa submitted an offer to buy Air Berlin and its subsidiaries Niki and LGW, resistance from EU competition watchdogs spread, so Lufthansa withdrew its offer to buy. After the Spanish Vueling was eliminated in the second bidding process, Niki Lauda made a purchase offer for the third time and was awarded the contract. Initially, he wanted to work with the German partner Condor run the airline, but this was not possible due to the poor profitability of the Laudamotion. Meanwhile the Irish offered Ryanair to take over initially 25%, later up to 75% of the ownership shares, however, the independence of Laudamotion, the home base at the Vienna-Schwechat airport and the Austrian ID were agreed upon as a condition. The partnership with the German airline Condor expired on April 30, 2018, and since May 1, 2018, flights can be booked through the new partner Ryanair and Laudamotion itself. Since January 31, 2019, Laudamotion has been 100% owned by the airline Ryanair. In addition to the location at Vienna-Schwechat Airport, Laudamotion has three other locations at the airports Palma de Mallorca, Stuttgart and Dusseldorf.
