Description
The project comprises the design, construction and commissioning of a range of airport infrastructure schemes at Vienna International Airport (construction of new passenger terminal facilities and associated airside and landside infrastructure).
Objectives
In order to cope with the expected traffic growth, VIE has devised an expansion master plan, the core component of which consists in the construction of a new passenger terminal. This will reduce congestion, improve service quality, time saving and comfort for passengers. Vienna airport is considered an international connecting point. The project is hence eligible under Art. 267, point (c) on transport infrastructure of common Community interest of the EC Treaty.
