GRAZ AIRPORT ASSISTANCE

History of Graz International Airport

In 1969, the runway was extended again, this time to 2,500 meters (8,202 ft), and construction of a new terminal building became necessary. Highlights were visits by Concorde in 1981 and by a Boeing 747 on the occasion of the airport's 70th anniversary in 1984. Ten years later, another new building was constructed with a maximum annual capacity of 750,000 passengers. The latest extension of the runway was to 3,000 meters (9,843 ft) in 1998. In December 2022, Eurowings announced that it would establish an additional base at Graz Airport, starting in 2023. This major commitment to Graz features nine new routes, with two of them linking Graz to Berlin and Hamburg and the other ones being leisure routes.

Furthermore, the overall frequencies of already existing services to Düsseldorf and Palma de Mallorca will be enhanced. Yet with all these new routes, the route from Graz to Stuttgart, which was established in 2021, was discontinued in April 2023.

In comparison to the summer of 2019, before the pandemic, Graz has just recovered a bit more than 50 percent of its passengers. This comes as both Austrian Airlines and Lufthansa have drastically cut their services. While Austrian has ended every route from Graz apart from its feeder to Vienna, Lufthansa has downsized the frequency on its Munich route by 80%, from once every five days to nothing but one.
