The Federal Administrative Court has overturned the decision of the Vienna state government regarding the obligation to carry out an environmental impact assessment for the Kahlenberg cable car and referred the matter back to the state government for further review. This means that the decision as to whether an environmental impact assessment (EIA) is required for the cable car project will be reopened.

Hannes Dejaco, Managing Director of Genial Tourismus- und Projektentwicklung GmbH, regrets the associated delays and sees the need for a quick clarification from a climate protection perspective. He emphasizes that the decision of the Vienna EIA authority was made with the necessary care and respects the court's decision, even if it leads to further delays.

According to Dejaco, after 1,5 years since the application for the EIA requirement, it is still unclear which approval procedure will be used for the cable car. However, the managing director remains optimistic that at the end of the process, compliance with all approval criteria for the Kahlenberg cable car will be established.
