Airport Information

(Vienna, Austria)

A busy two-terminal facility that provides an essential gateway into and out of the capital city of Austria, Vienna International Airport (VIE) is the country's largest and most significant airport. Located around 16 km / 10 miles to the south-east of the city centre, Vienna Airport is close to Ebergassing, Fischamend, Himberg, Mannswörth and Schwechat, often going by the alternative name of Schwechat Airport.

Vienna Airport serves flights to a vast number of international destinations, as well as to a variety of domestic cities, with the main airlines including Air Berlin, Austrian Airlines, Austrian Arrows, Lufthansa, Niki and SkyEurope. Currently in excess of 20 million passengers pass through the terminal each year, although this figure is set to rise sharply following the completion of the new SKYLINK terminal.


Public transport at Vienna Airport comprises bus services to the Vienna Schwedenplatz (20 minutes), the Südbahnhof rail station (25 minutes) and the Westbahnhof rail station (35 minutes). A City Airport Train (CAT) service also connects Vienna city centre, along with S-Bahn trains, with ticket machines available on the relevant platforms. However, many people prefer the convenience of taxis, which are located on the northern side of the Arrivals Hall, although others favour the various well-known car rental firms. Nearby main roads include the A22 and A23 motorways.
