Diana Langes, daughter of the long-time, now deceased Svarovski boss Gernot-Langes Swarovski, will take over the airline Tyrolean Jet Services GmbH (TJS), which belongs to the crystal group, on January 1, 2022. The current president of the Bundesliga soccer club WSG Tirol wanted to continue her father’s “pioneering work” in the Tyrolean flight sector, the company announced in a broadcast on Thursday.
In 1978 Langes-Swarovski took over Aircraft Innsbruck together with Christian Schwemberger-Swarovski, from which, in addition to the airline company Tyrolean Airways, among others, Tyrolean Jet Services emerged. The airline, which was founded in 1958, has operated business and private jet flights for Swarovski and currently has three aircraft. The deal was already looming. “I want to buy Tyrolean Jet Services”, Diana Langes was recently quoted in the business magazine “trend”. According to his own statements, Langes wants to keep the Innsbruck location as the headquarters. In addition to its own aircraft, aircraft from third parties should also be taken under management contract and chartered from Innsbruck and kept technically in good condition, it said. “In this way, many existing employees should be guaranteed a secure job in the aviation industry at the Innsbruck location. In addition, expansion is also the stated goal in the medium term,” announced the company on behalf of Langes. In the summer it became known that the airline halved their workforce from 60 to 30. Most recently, losses of millions were flown in.
