Austria - at the center of the new Europe

Located at the heart of Europe and on the threshold to Eastern Europe, Vienna International Airport is the most easterly "western airport".

A key feature of Vienna International Airport is simple and uncomplicated entry to markets in the East.
This advantageous position will be strengthened by the planned expansion of the EU to include the Reform Countries of Eastern Europe.

Vienna International Airport handled 15.9 million passengers in 2005, for an increase of 7.3% over the previous year. The three most important drivers for this excellent growth were the positive development of traffic to Eastern Europe, long-haul flights and the low-cost carriers. With a market-oriented tariff and  incentive policy, Vienna International Airport has optimised its competitive capabilities and strengthened its position for the future.
