The Vienna Airport railway station (before conversion: Wien-Schwechat airport ) is in the Lower Austrian municipality of Schwechat location, underground station of the airport Wien-Schwechat with S-Bahn -, regional - CAT - and long-distance connection .
investment
The completely underground track system consists of the two-track section to the west, the three-track stop area and an adjoining two-tube tunnel section to the east with single-track tunnels. The three platforms, a middle and a side platform, have a length of 450 meters. They are marked with numbers and divided into sectors A to F by letters.
There are entrances at both ends and in the middle of the platforms. However, the terminal can only be reached via the east and middle stairs. While the eastern one is directly connected to the arrivals hall via escalators and ramps, the middle staircase also offers the option of reaching the surface and a distribution passage into the Airport City. Elevators are also only located at these two entrances, with only the one at the eastern end of the platform serving all terminal levels directly. In order to make the underground train station visible in the urban context of the airport, this entrance has been given a glazed reception building on the surface.
modification
From the beginning of 2003 to December 2014, as a joint project of ÖBB Infrastruktur AG and Flughafen Wien AG , the station was expanded to a long-distance train station and completely redesigned. In addition, the connection to Terminal 3, which opened in 2012, was established. In connection with the delays in the construction of the terminal expansion, the construction site was completely shut down from the end of 2009 to 2012 in order to keep costs down.
The aim of the renovation was to enlarge the cross-section of the station, to extend all three platforms from 200 to 450 meters and to create additional stairways. The track system was expanded, the runway tunnel (it passes under parts of runway 16/34 and the north-eastern apron areas) a second tube was added; the double-track section is thus extended to after the tunnel. An earth core 3 to 6 meters thick remained between the two tubes. A turning system was built in front of the east portal.
A new platform area was built east of the old existing station. This represents the extension of the three platform edges and was in operation from 2008 to 2014 alone. The old platform area initially remained in function for the CAT, before it was closed, then partially removed and adapted to the newly built eastern counterpart. In full operation, passengers now have three 450-meter-long platforms with three stairways each.
All new buildings were built using the open construction method, the total costs amounted to 118.8 million euros.
The offices Zechner & Zechner , Werner Consult and Tecton Consult took over the planning .

security concept
During the renovation and new construction, the main task was to erect the systems in accordance with the applicable fire protection standards and to upgrade the existing structures accordingly. In addition to standard safety equipment, fixed extinguishing water pipes and video surveillance were installed and, above all, fire protection issues (especially on the reinforced concrete structure) were taken into account. The fire alarm system is integrated into the fire alarm system of the airport fire brigade and, like the emergency telephones in the tunnel, is also connected to an emergency area station. In the two-tube tunnel section east of the platforms, there are cross passages between the tubes. For fire protection reasons, the new shell and the revitalized stock consists of fiber concrete. In the event of a rapid increase in temperature due to fire, this is intended to prevent individual concrete layers from flaking off and the reinforcement from being exposed. The tunnel structure is also designed for five different service lives. Depending on the surface usage, these are between 30 and 180 minutes. The fire smoke ventilation takes place via jet fans in the tunnel areas and an extraction system in the platform area.
architecture
The station design follows the design principle of the Rennweg and St. Marx stops, which were opened in 2002 and also designed by Zechner & Zechner .
The reinforced concrete structure is entirely hidden behind metal cladding. Blue glass elements were only used in the exit areas. (In the platform area of the CAT these are kept in green according to the main color of the train type). The walls behind the track zone are covered with printed foils. The curved platform roof is illuminated indirectly by spotlights, the platforms themselves, by continuous light strips on the edges and by backlit glass surfaces. Natural stone surfaces were used in the wall and floor area of the access levels and passages. The illumination in these areas is limited to light lines in the ceiling, wall and floor area, as well as classic downlights.
business
S-Bahn, regional and long-distance trains stop at platforms 1 and 2. The City Airport Train (CAT) uses the eastern part of platform 3 and connects to platform 2. This means that the western part of platform 3 can also be used Hold the train without blocking the CAT.

Long-distance transport
Long-distance traffic from the south and west of Austria runs to the airport. This connection was made possible by the so-called Klederinger Loop , a new line that connects the Ostbahn with the Pressburger Bahn over a length of 2.1 km. Since then, Vienna Central Station can be reached from the airport in around 15 minutes without having to change trains.
The long-distance traffic connection of the airport took place in several phases. In the first year of operation, from December 14, 2014, the ÖBB offered a direct ICE connection every 2 hours . From December 13, 2015, Railjet and InterCity courses to the airport were continued instead. Since then there has been a half-hour offer. Since the timetable change on December 11, 2016, all long-distance services to the airport have been served with Railjet trains.

AiRail
On the route Salzburg – Linz – Vienna Airport, ÖBB and Austrian Airlines offer a cooperation under the name AIRail . It is possible to book the train journey and a connecting flight in one ticket. Travelers can check in for their flight at Salzburg and Linz main train stations, but they cannot check in their luggage. Under this agreement, Austrian suspended four out of five domestic flights between Vienna and Linz. In January and February 2015 around 50,000 passengers were counted. About half of the departing travelers drove to Vienna Central Station. From June 1, 2015, Austrian Airlines expanded its offer by four flights. The service has also been available to and from Salzburg since 2017. The train connections on the routes also have an OS flight number.
Rail & Fly
