Vienna Airport is planning to put the central security check in Terminal 2022 into operation in the 2 summer flight schedule. At the same time, the Pier West and Pier East areas are to be reactivated. The airport has not yet given an exact date.

A spokesman confirmed to Aviation.Direct that “in spring 2022, in line with the summer flight schedule”, Austria’s largest airport wants to reactivate boarding areas B, C and D. This means that the currently unused area will be put back into operation completely and not in stages. Terminal 1 is currently only used for check-in activities. In the area of ​​the C-Gates you only use the bus platforms in the form of "double bus boarding".

Terminal 2 was already being renovated before the corona pandemic. Among other things, a central security checkpoint and new lounges were set up here. A spokesman: "A highlight will definitely be the new lounge on around 2.360 square meters in Terminal 2".

With regard to Terminal 1A, which was originally built as a temporary solution, Vienna Airport intends to provide information about the future in the coming weeks. This currently unused structure does not have its own access to the security area, but is located opposite Terminal 1. It has been closed since the beginning of the Corona pandemic. The next few weeks will show whether the check-in capacities will be needed in summer 2022.

The exact date when Terminal 2 and the West and East piers will be operational again has not yet been determined. The media officer said: "As soon as the exact date is fixed, we will inform you". In any case, it won't be long, because the 2022 summer flight schedule is getting closer by the day.
