The carrier is Austrian Air so shouldn't the surcharges be a lot less since it's a different carrier than Air Canada or would I need to call Austrian Air to book the flight with the Aeroplan miles?
Unfortunately not. Check the link above your post to see which carriers don't have these ridiculous AC scamcharges. OS is not one of them

In any case, all tickets have to be booked via Aeroplan ($34 phone fee)
