Flights to Vienna
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Vienna is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Vienna International Airport (VIE), 18 km (11 mi) from the centre, whose 11,811-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are M. R. Štefánik Airport (BTS, 62 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vienna International Airport | VIE | 18 km (11 mi) | 11,811 ft | 600 ft |
| M. R. Štefánik Airport | BTS | 62 km (39 mi) | 10,466 ft | 436 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,811 ft, VIE can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 600 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
