In the beginning this airport was built for the military use but in 1945 it went under the control of Britain, but this airport was converted into the principal airport of Vienna after the foundation of Betriebsgesellschaft in 1954. In the beginning this airport had only one runway. This airport has a great historical importance as it was used by the Pope John Paul II in his visit to Austria. Not only that but also this airport was used when Olympic teams and participants came to participate in the Winter Olympics. In December this airport became the victim of Palestinians attack.
