First of Two New Hangars Put into Operation at Vienna Airport
Flughafen Wien AG is building two new hangars for general aviation at Vienna Airport by the autumn of 2019 on behalf of its subsidiary Vienna Aircraft Handling GmbH. The first of the two hangars (Hangar 8) has already been constructed, whereas the second hangar (Hangar 9) is scheduled to be put into operation in the autumn of 2019. On balance, VAH will then boast four large hangars with a total area of about 16,000 square metres. As a consequence, the general aviation site at Vienna Airport will rank among the top ten amongst the business aviation airports in Europe. Hangar 8 was officially opened today, Wednesday, July 17, 2019, by Michael Zach and Joubin Pour, the Managing Directors of Vienna Aircraft Handling.
The new hangars will be 55 x 65 metres in size. The height of the entrance will be 10 meters. Hangars 8 and 9 will provide sufficient room for aircraft ranging up until the business jet Bombardier Global.
