Ostwing is a small Austrian carrier, with their main base of operations at Salzburg Airport with 2 secondary bases at Innsbruck and Graz. Currently the airline operates a fleet of 41 aircraft consisting of: x8 Dash 8 Q200s, x10 Q400s, x4 Avro RJ70, x4 RJ85s and x15 RJ100s The airline commenced operations in 1993, with the acquisition of 2 Q200s which then lead the airline to buy 6 more and its first RJ100. During the winter seasons the Avro RJ100s are based primarily in Salzburg and Innsbruck while the Q200s act as shuttle aircraft from Vienna to the key skiing locations. However the time has come for Ostwing to replace its ageing fleet of Q200s and to reduce the amount of Avros, for this the airline has signed an agreement with Embraer for 8 White tail E175s and a potential order for 8 E190/195-E2s.
