Car Hire in Salzburg Airport - Mini guide to Salzburg Airport

The Salzburg Airport, also known as the Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Airport, is the second largest airport serving Austria. While it is commonly viewed as strictly a regional airport, in fact it handles more aircraft than many other major European airports.

The airport is named after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the famous composer who was born in Salzburg. The airport is located 2 kilometers from the German border with Austria, and is situated just outside the city of Salzburg. Since the airport is owned and operated by the local and state governments, it receives excellent funding, and has amenities that are commonly found at airports that are much larger.

The airport is commonly used as a staging area, allowing customers to visit Austria's most popular ski resorts. The airport is the primary link to the Ski Amade region, which is the largest network of linked ski facilities in Europe. The airport has car hire services, which can be used to travel into the city, or there is regular bus service every 10 minutes. The public transportation system can take passengers from the airport to the city's main train station in 25 minutes, or to the central business district in half an hour.

Because of the area's proximity to the world's most famous ski resorts, there are new developments under consideration. There is a new terminal which operates only on the airport's busiest charter days, handling passengers that are en route to the country's ski destinations. Additional parking is under development which will ensure that local travelers are provide adequate parking for extended trips.

The airport handles much of the region's traffic, and flights are also available to Munich and other foreign destinations. The airport's services are excellent, and the planned developments should keep the airport competitive for decades to come.
