The largest Austrian airport started to write its history in the services of the army during World War II. Since 1954 the airport has the status of the main air transport hub in Austria but it had to wait until 1972 for its second runway. Today it has a huge air port with four terminals, 20 thousand employees who are able to handle more than 22 million passengers in the course of the year.
Continuous expansion
In the course of the decades of its operation in civil transportation Vienna airport in the vicinity of the town of Schwechat became the symbol of expansion. Extension of the whole area, of the length of the runways, of the number of terminals, office or business premises as well as the number of airlines that operate here, all this led to the current significant status of the airport that currently sees off passengers to nearly 290 destinations worldwide. Former Pope John Paul II or the sport teams participating in Winter Olympic Games in 1964 and 1976 belong undoubtedly among the most prominent passengers who have ever landed here.
