Gerald,
We set the Austrian seasonal flights in the schedule so you are able to fly them whenever you like until the season ends, at which point the flights will be removed until next year. As long as you're rated on the aircraft, you can certainly fly these flights. If you're not rated on the equipment, but do have a type rating for a similar aircraft, you can make a substitution for a similar aircraft, such as B737 in place of the A320 for example. The reason for our having the seasonal flights is to give everyone something new to try and to fly into an airport we don't normally have the opportunity to visit. I encourage you to take up the challenge and be prepared! Innsbruck is a little tricky to get into and out of. Make sure you review the charts prior to your flight. The arrival requires a pretty steep descent profile and I would not recommend using a heavy aircraft as the runway is also a little shorter than what you're used to.
Good luck and have fun!
Ryan
