Over more than 35 years of history, Tyrolean Airways operated various regional aircraft types. The following overview summarises the most important types; exact periods of service and aircraft numbers vary by source and fleet status, and should therefore be read as an approximate guide.
| Aircraft type | Category | Approximate period of service | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| de Havilland Canada DHC-7 “Dash 7” | Short-takeoff turboprop | from 1980 | First aircraft in scheduled service; chosen for its short take-off/landing distance, suited to Innsbruck Airport |
| de Havilland Canada DHC-8 “Dash 8” (Series 100/300/Q400) | Turboprop regional aircraft | from 1985 until the end of the brand’s operations | The backbone of the turboprop fleet for decades |
| Fokker 70 | Regional jet | 1990s into the 2010s | Used, among other roles, as a replacement for older jets in the group |
| Fokker 100 | Regional jet | 1990s into the 2010s | The largest Fokker type in the fleet |
| Canadair / Bombardier CRJ100/200 | Regional jet | roughly 1990s to 2010 | Gradually withdrawn from the group’s fleet from 2010 |
Livery and Branding
- Until 2003: an independent Tyrolean Airways livery
- 2002/2003–2012: joint “Austrian arrows” brand with a livery matching the parent company
- 2012–2015: standard “Austrian” livery after the “arrows” suffix was dropped, still operated by Tyrolean Airways GmbH
- From 2015: full integration into Austrian Airlines AG, with no separate Tyrolean livery remaining
