Austria: Salzburg Airport to close for 5 weeks in 2019 for runway renovation
Austria’s Salzburg Airport will close operations for air traffic for 5 weeks in 2019 to renovate its 59-year-old runway. The closure will be effective April 24-May 28, 2019. To make the construction work as simple as possible, the airport decided to stop all operations. The construction site is on the land side. "The whole project, which began in 2015 with the planning phase, will last through 2021/2022,” a spokesperson said. The total investment will be around US$72m including water drainage. The financial volume for the runway renovation itself is between E30m-E40m,” the spokesperson said. Most carriers have postponed services to Salzburg during the construction period. Turkish Airlines will move its Istanbul flights to Linz Airport, located 100 km east of Salzburg. <br/>
