Following Lufthansa's withdrawal of its Frankfurt service, Tyrol is exploring creation of a virtual regional airline to restore Innsbruck's international and feeder links and protect tourism. The plan, modelled on Paderborn's Skyhub PAD, has attracted interest from regional operator Skyalps.

Briefing
Lufthansa's withdrawal removed a key Frankfurt feeder for Innsbruck; Tyrol's proposal for a virtual carrier is a targeted response to rapidly restore connectivity and safeguard tourism-dependent passenger flows (Skyhub PAD now serves Paderborn three times daily after a carrier exit).
Regional operators, including Skyalps, have signalled interest — a quick market response is possible, but the move will hinge on commercial, regulatory and airport-slot arrangements; this follows broader industry efforts to reopen thin, regional air services using lean carrier and partnership models.
