First week of real-time operations in Check-in 3 at Vienna Airport
The new terminal at Vienna Airport has been in operations for seven days, with over 240,000 passengers using Check-in 3 from 5 June to yesterday evening, 11 June 2012. Real-time operations are generally proceeding without complications. There is a need for improvement, above all, in the orientation signs and the transitions between the various check-in areas. In general, the design, comfort and shopping and gastronomy offering in the new Check-in 3 have been very well received by passengers.
Nothing can change the longer routes resulting from the size of the terminal, but modern moving walkways help to shorten the distance. As indicated by the Management Board of Flughafen Wien, work is continuing to further improve travel comfort for passengers ‑ through on-going optimisation in the new terminal and through modernisation of the “old“ terminal infrastructure.
Modernisation work in Check-in 1 (the former Terminal 1) will start at the end of June. The old arrivals hall has already been closed, and the construction site for the Austrian Railway Corporation station will soon open in this area. The shopping arcade and car park 3 will still be available to passengers, but the access route will lead in part over temporary walkways outside the terminal building because of the construction. Plans to improve this situation are currently in progress.
The construction in Check-in 1 is scheduled for completion by the end of 2012, when Air Berlin and NIKI will relocate to the redesigned terminal. Work will then start on Check-in 2 (the former Terminal 2).
