36.5 Million Passengers: Austrian Airports Surpass Pre-Covid Record in 2025

While leisure traffic drove the surge, cargo volumes fell and Vienna Airport predicts a downturn this year as several airlines cut capacity. Business travellers can expect tighter seat supply and potential tax-driven cost increases, making advance booking and route diversification essential.
