Vienna Airport may be named "Best Airport 2016" in the category "Europe and 15 to 25 million passengers". The award was presented by the International Airport Association (ACI) for service quality. Director-General Angela Gittens traveled from Montreal to hand over gold after bronze in 2015.

A cycle path leads right past the airport and is therefore well connected for cyclists. Coming from Graz by train, our bike tour to the east started here: Carnuntum, Hainburg, etc.

The airport was built from May 14, 1938 (groundbreaking by Reich Aviation Minister Hermann Göring) on the "Heidfeld" between Fischamend and Schwechat as an airfield for the German Luftwaffe by Christoph Miller[7] and was designated "Luftwaffenstützpunkt Schwechat-Ost"/"Heidfeld". Five hangars, an aircraft repair shop, several barracks buildings, and a large garage were built. Jagdfliegerschule 5 was housed here; active flying units such as II./JG 27 (II. Group of Jagdgeschwader 27), II./JG 52, and parts of III./KG 51 were also stationed here.
