Introduction

Vienna Airport (VIE) is the largest airport in Austria, handling around 12 million passengers a year between 135 destinations worldwide.

Vienna International Airport hosts most major airlines plus German low-cost carriers. It is a major hub for traffic between Western and Eastern Europe and hosts Austrian national carrier Austrian Airlines.

Vienna International Airport - formerly known as Schwechat Airport - is located 10 miles (16 kms) southeast of Vienna city center, and provides a host of transport options to Austria's elegant capital city by road and rail. Vienna Airport is the closest airport to the city and is served every half hour by CAT trains between Vienna's main train station, the City Air Terminal, in just 16 minutes, and by regular buses on a fast road link via the A4 motorway.

Passenger facilities and services at Vienna Airport are set to be upgraded in 2006 with the opening of a new terminal building. VIE Airport has experienced major growth in the past decade, resulting in a doubling of passenger numbers. The new, spacious terminal will offer a raft of modern amenities.
