VIENNA AIRPORT (SCHWECHAT) -
HISTORICAL PHOTOS
During World War II the construction of an small
airfield between Schwechat and Fischamend was the beginning of Vienna
International Airport. After modifying the runway 11/29 up to 3000m in
1959 and the opening of the new passenger terminal, the number of handled
passengers grew up to two millions in the early seventies.
Already in 1977 the second runway (3600m, 16/34) was constructed as a
reason to the fast growing number of passengers. Five years later in 1983
Austrian Airlines officially named Vienna Airport as its homebase and
offered it as its hub. This development helped to increase passenger
numbers up to 15,9 millions in 2005. Moreover a new terminal, which will
be finished in 2008, will help to handle more passengers more comfortable.
