GRAZ AIRPORT (THALERHOF) -
HIGHLIGHTS 2003
Graz Airport is about 10km
south of Styria’s capital situated and has been built as a small airfield
in 1913. The development to an important airport began in 1966 when the
first scheduled service to the European destination Frankfurt was offered
by Austrian Airlines. In 2004 the Graz Airport was able to handle more
than 900.000 passengers.
In 2002 the airport built its new tower on the site between the terminal
and the parking areas. In March 2005 the new futuristic terminal building
was opened (see picture). With 23 check-in counters and 14 gates the
airport is able to handle 1.5 million passengers per year.
Styrian Spirit opened its home base in Graz
in March
2003 and launched new
flights to different cities in Europe.
Unfortunately
the airline had to ground its fleet exactly three years later due to
financial problems.
Nowadays
the
Austrian Airlines Group, Lufthansa, Ryanair, Intersky and Welcome Air
are the most important airlines at Graz Airport. During
the summer season there are many additional charter flights mainly to the
classic holiday destinations.
