Šablona:Infobox Letiště Šablona:Infobox Letiště/RWY Šablona:Infobox Letiště/RWY Šablona:Infobox Letiště/RWY Šablona:Infobox Letiště/Konec Mezinárodní letiště ve Vídni (IATA: VIE, ICAO: LOWW) (německy: Flughafen Wien) se nachází ve Schwechatu 18 km od centra Vídně. Je to nejrušnější a největší letiště v Rakousku. Letiště je schopno přijmout i velké letouny, jako například Boeing 747 nebo Airbus A380. Je domovskou stanicí aerolinek Austrian Airlines a Niki Luftfahrt, která v dnešní době spadá pod Air Berlin. Letiště pojalo v roce 2009 celkem 18 114 103 pasažérů a zaznamenalo meziroční nárůst o 8,7 %. V současné době je po nové rekonstrukci křídlo gatů B, které nyní má jeden z nejmodernějších systémů odbavování cestujících na světě. (to ta zasraná praha si s těma jejich zgarbama může jít do prdele xDDD)

Terminály

Letiště Vídeň se skládá ze tří terminálů. Terminal 1, Terminal 2 a Terminal 1A, který slouží převázně pro Airebrlin a Flyniki. V terminálu 1 potom hlavně Austrian Airlines, která má ve Vídni domovskou stanici. Odbavení cestujících zajišťují firmy: Fraport, Austroport Swissport, Vienna Airport Halding a Austrian. V roce 2004 se začal budovat také nový terminál jménem SKYLINK, která má být dokončen již v roce 2012. Nový terminál bude schopen příjmout například nový Airbus A380.

Vienna International Airport Šablona:Airport codes (Šablona:Lang-de), located in Schwechat and 18 kilometre (11 mi) southeast of central Vienna, is the busiest and biggest airport in Austria. It is often referred to as Schwechat, the name of the county it is in. The airport is capable of handling wide-body aircraft such as the Boeing 747 and Airbus A340. The airport is the hub of Austrian Airlines and its subsidiaries, as well as budget airline Niki.

During 2009, the airport handled a total of 18,114,103 passengers, representing a 8.3% decrease compared to 2008. In 2010, the airport handled 19,691,206 passengers, an 8.7% increase over 2009.

History

Flughafen Wien AG manages the airport

Originally built as a military airport in 1938, it was taken over by the British in 1945. In 1954, the Betriebsgesellschaft was founded, and the airport replaced Aspern as Vienna's (and Austria's) principal aerodrome. There was just one runway, which in 1959 was expanded to measure 3 000 metre (9 843 ft). The erection of the new airport building starting in 1960. In 1972 another runway was built. In 1982 the airport was connected to the national motorway network (Ostautobahn). The airport received Olympic teams as Austria has twice hosted the Winter Olympics. Pope John Paul II also used the airport during his visits to Austria. On December 27, 1985, the El Al ticket counter was attacked by Palestinians terrorists. (See Rome and Vienna Airport Attacks.) In 1986, the enlarged arrivals hall was opened and in 1988, Pier East with 8 jetbridges. In 1992, the new terminal 1 was opened and a year later the PLAZA Shopping mall in the transit area. In 1996, Pier West was opened with 12 jetbridges. The airport formerly featured a Harrods, but it closed in 2003.

Terminals

Map of Vienna International Airport

Presently, Vienna International Airport has three terminals: The main terminals 1 and 2 and a provisional terminal 1A, built to offer more space for low-cost carriers. In addition to this terminals Vienna has also a unique VIP Terminal. In 2004, the airport started building a new terminal, SKYLINK, which will make the airport more capable of dealing with higher passenger volumes (2010: 19.7 million). This new terminal will also make the airport capable of handling more bigger aircrafts, even the Airbus A380. All Terminals are operated by Fraport, Vienna Airport Handling, Swissport and Austrian Airlines. After completion of SKYLINK, Austrian Airlines and its partners will move to the new Terminal.

Public transportation

The Vienna S-Bahn Šablona:Public transport Vienna (Stopping at all stations from Floridsdorf Station until Rennweg Station, and usually all intermediate stops on the airport branch ) line stops at the airport. The more expensive Šablona:Public transport Vienna (City Airport Train) connects the airport directly to the Wien Mitte station close to the city center, where S-Bahn trains also stop but take a slightly longer time because of 7 intermediate stops. There are also many buses from the airport to various places in Vienna and to other cities; however, the S-Bahn line is the only means of transport from Vienna to the airport on which the standard integrated tickets for the Vienna region are valid (as a result, they also allow further travelling by underground, bus or tram, which the CAT tickets don't).

After the construction of Main Railway Station, a line called "S70" is scheduled to be opened which will connect the airport to that railway station, so that the frequency of S-Bahn trains becomes higher than the current 30 minutes. There are no plans to extend any underground line to the airport although it has sometimes been proposed to extend line U3 (currently terminating at Simmering) there; this would be the first underground line extending beyond Vienna's city limits.

Vienna Airport enlargement plan

Because of its constant growth in passenger numbers and freight, Vienna International Airport has decided to enlarge Austria's biggest airport with several new and respectively adapted buildings.

• New Tower: A new Tower was built. With its 109 metre (358 ft) of height, it allows a free overlook of the entire airport area and it offers another spectacular sight: a night laser show, which should welcome the passengers even from the aircraft.

• New Terminal: Due to constant passenger and freight growth, Vienna International Airport has planned to build another Terminal, SKYLINK, which should be able to compensate higher passenger rates. Construction started in 2004 and will last until 2012. Construction had been suspended recently due to projected cost increases, but has since resumed. Operations in the new terminal are planned to start during the first half of 2012. The total cost of the project is now 830 million EUR.

• Third Runway: Due to higher aviation rates, the construction of a third runway is considered.

• Railway station: The underground railway station will be enlarged and a connection to Bratislava will be constructed. Additionally the Šablona:Public transport Vienna (City Airport Train), which connects the centre of Vienna with the airport in just 16 minutes, will receive a new underground railway station.

Following concerns over the mismanagement of the VIE-Skylink project, chief executive Herbert Kaufman agreed to resign at the end of December 2010.
