Lauda,[2] legally Laudamotion GmbH (formerly Amira Air), was an Austrian low-cost airline[3] based in Concorde Business Park in Schwechat, near Vienna, Austria.[4] It has been a subsidiary of Ryanair Holdings since 2018, as are Ryanair DAC, Ryanair UK, Malta Air and Buzz. Former Formula 1 World Champion Niki Lauda had a minority stake in Amira Air before buying it outright in 2016.

In January 2018, Lauda acquired Niki, an airline originally founded by Niki Lauda. Amira Air then became a scheduled airline.[5] Since June 2020, all Lauda flights were operated as wet leases with Ryanair flight numbers.[6] As of November 2020, Lauda has been replaced with the Maltese Lauda Europe.[1]
