Groundbreaking ceremony for New Central Logistics Hub at Vienna Airport
| Press releases
Starting in 2027, over 100 shops and restaurants across Vienna Airport’s terminals will be supplied directly from a new centralized logistics hub. Developed by the airport’s construction management department, the facility is being built on a 6,000 m² site near the General Aviation Center, with direct access to the airport apron. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on May 26, 2025, David Fitzgerald, CEO of Bradford Airport Logistics, Lorenzo Belicchi, Executive Vice President Europe of Bradford Airport Logistics, Julian Jäger, joint CEO and COO of Vienna Airport, Günther Ofner, joint CEO and CFO of Vienna Airport as well as Philipp Ahrens, Senior Vice President Center Management, and Stefan Kovacs, Senior Vice President Planning, Construction and Asset Management (both Vienna Airport). The new logistics center will be operated by Vienna Airport Logistics GmbH, a joint venture between Bradford Airport Logistics and Vienna Airport. Philipp Ahrens will serve as Managing Director in addition to his current role as Senior Vice President Center Management at Vienna Airport.
Modern logistics centre as the interface for the secure and sustainable flow of goods
The cornerstone of the new logistics concept is a centrally located logistics centre encompassing an area of about 6,000 m², which will bundle all deliveries to the terminals in the future. The building is directly connected to the airport apron, thus enabling secure and efficient deliveries to retail partners and operational stakeholders. Every delivery will be systematized within the logistics centre, reviewed for safety, consolidated and handed over to the respective areas of use in a timely and efficient manner. As a result, a streamlined, standardised, and clearly regulated process will be created for the benefit of the entire airport terminal complex.
After commissioning of the Southern Expansion: A total of 100 shops and restaurants at the airport
Construction work on the Terminal 3 Southern Expansion will not only increase the available terminal space but also the commercial offering at Vienna Airport. A modern and elegant travel environment will be created spanning an area of about 70,000 m². A total of 30 new shops and restaurants await passengers starting in 2027, with a clear orientation to Austrian quality and international premium brands, spacious lounges, modern security checks and an exclusive atmosphere. On balance, Vienna Airport will offer more than 100 shops and restaurants in the entire terminal environment once the Terminal 3 Southern Expansion is completed and open for use. Deliveries will exclusively take place in the future via the new logistics centre, optimally fusing efficiency, sustainability and high-end service.
