Our employees are as colorful and diverse as the rainbow”, says Annette Mann, CEO of Austrian Airlines, proud of the Austrian team. “Our more than 6,000 employees come from around 70 nations, from different cultures, religions and generations, with different genders and sexual orientations. Any form of discrimination has no place at Austrian”, continues Mann.

The Austrian truck will start with the starting number 55. Adapted to the brand identity of Austrian Airlines, the truck is adorned with the slogan “Pride is … WONDERFUL.COLORFUL”. The truck features the progressive Pride flag and an oversized engine in rainbow colors. It offers space for around 50 people. The tickets were raffled off among interested Austrian employees.
During the parade, guests can expect a colorful program on board. The well-known Austrian drag queen and DJ Tamara Mascara heats up the Pride participants musically. Glitter Fairies provide the necessary dose of glamour on the truck. The Austrian Pride Truck was creatively realized together with the Stargate Group.
