Vienna Airport Launches New Border Terminal in June
Vienna Airport is set to unveil its new border terminal on June 12, as confirmed by Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) during a recent announcement in Schwechat. This new facility aims to streamline border processes and enhance security measures.
Border Procedure Overview
The new terminal will implement a comprehensive three-step procedure for arrivals:
- Identity and Security Checks: The first step involves screening by police, where identity verification and security assessments will be conducted.
- Health Assessment: A health check will follow to ensure the well-being of travelers.
- Asylum Process: The Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum will manage the asylum procedures for those seeking refuge.
Responding to Entry Refusals
In instances where entry is denied, the terminal is equipped to promptly initiate return procedures, ensuring that regulations are enforced swiftly and efficiently. This approach reflects the airport’s commitment to maintaining security while facilitating smooth travel.
The arrival of the new border terminal at Vienna Airport marks a significant advancement in enhancing both operational efficiency and safety standards at one of Europe’s major transport hubs.
