Nov. 8--Austrian Airlines has become the first and only carrier to fly direct scheduled flights from Europe to Phuket after the Dec 26 tsunami.

With 245 European holiday-makers on board, flight OS021 touched down safely at Phuket airport last Saturday, after a 10-hour journey that heralded the return of European tourists to the Andaman Sea resort after an absence of nearly one year.

Australian Airlines' inaugural Vienna-Phuket on a Boeing 767-300 ER jet was full and the airline reported that about 90 percent of seats on the route had been booked since the end of September.
