A blue "Airbert One" is flying around in Vienna's public bus

The Austrian newspaper Kurier reports on the popularity of a plush toy airplane called 'Airbert One,' named after FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl. These toys were distributed by the Freedom Party (FPÖ) and became highly sought after among their supporters, with all initial stock sold out quickly. One such toy was spotted inside a bus operated by Wiener Linien, the public transportation company in Vienna. However, Wiener Linien denied that the photo was taken inside one of their buses, noting that their vehicles do not have ATM terminals, which could indicate the presence of the toy. The article raises questions about whether the toy was placed in a private bus commissioned by Wiener Linien, which would still violate their guidelines.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both the FPÖ's claim about the popularity of the 'Airbert One' toy and Wiener Linien's denial regarding its presence in their buses. It does not take a clear stance or exhibit biased language, providing information from both sides without overtly favoring one over the other.
