Airport Facts

The construction of the airport began in 1913 with the construction of a grass runway and the first hangars and resulted in the very first flight in 1914. In 1925 the first domestic flight in Austria started with the line Vienna-Graz-Klagenfurt. In 1937 the construction of a terminal building began due to passenger numbers.

After the end of the Second World War, however, cival and military aviation was forbidden in Austria. After reopening of Austrian airspace in 1951, a new concrete runway of 1500m was built in Graz. This runway was extended to 2000m in 1962. The existing connection Vienna-Graz-Klagenfurt grew quickly and the first international scheduled flight started in 1966 to Frankfurt. In 1969 the runway was again extended, this time to 2500m and a new modern terminal building was necessary. Special highlights of the airport were the landings of the Concorde in 1981 and the Boeing 747 on the occasion of its 70th anniversary of opening in 1984. 10 years later again a new building was constructed with a capacity of maximum 750.000 passengers per year. The final extension of the runway was to 3000m in 1998.

Since the start of the 21st century the number of passengers broke the 750.000-mark and in 2004 is just below 900.000. This lead to the construction of a second terminal and extension of the current terminal building in 2003. The construction of the new terminal is planned to be finished in 2005.
