Since March 2020, the wheels of the City Airport Train, which normally runs between Wien Mitte (Landstrasse) and Wien-Schwechat Airport, have been standing still. The joint venture between ÖBB and Flughafen Wien AG has now announced that it is considering a new start for spring 2022.

At the same time, the management was reorganized. The company is now managed by Christoph Korherr and Michael Forstner. The first-named manager works for Flughafen Wien AG and has also taken over the management of City Airport Train on August 1, 2021.

“I am very happy about this new challenge, because for me it is a return to the company where my professional career began. I am proud to work with Michael Forstner on the further development of the product and the many services that the City Airport Train offers in addition to the pure transport service. Together we will optimally prepare the CAT for restarting as soon as the pandemic situation allows it. From today's perspective, this is planned for spring 2022 ”, says the new managing director Christoph Korherr.

The City Airport Train is currently still in operation. A resumption is planned after a precise evaluation of the international travel movements and the development of COVID 19 infections at home and abroad and the associated travel restrictions in spring 2022.
