Air Cargo Centre

The freight handling facilities are within the customs warehouse at Vienna Airport and have direct access to the apron, thereby facilitating the flow between the airport and dispatcher. Modern systems and software guarantee optimum integration of all involved partners such as airlines, airports, customs and transport companies.

The VIE cargo terminal has wireless LAN and an EDI (electronic data interchange) system for rapid processing of forms, efficient control of stored items and uniform data access.

The terminal belongs to and is operated by Flughafen Wien AG.
