Yes. Salzburg Airport lies on the western edge of the city of Salzburg, about 4 km from the old town and close to the border with Bavaria, Germany. It has direct motorway access to the A1, A8 and A10, and city buses connect it with the center and the main station.

Salzburg Airport has two terminals. Terminal 1 is the main building, with 26 check-in desks and 10 gates for all regular flights. Terminal 2 is smaller, with nine check-in counters and four gates, and is used mainly for extra charter flights on winter Saturdays. There are no jet bridges, so you walk or take a bus to the aircraft.

Eurowings has a base at Salzburg and flies to German cities such as Berlin, Hamburg and Düsseldorf. Lufthansa flies to Frankfurt, Turkish Airlines to Istanbul and flydubai to Dubai. In winter, easyJet, Jet2.com, TUI Airways, British Airways and Norwegian bring many skiers from the UK and Scandinavia, and Ryanair flies to London-Stansted and Alicante.

Taxis wait at the rank directly in front of the terminal. The ride to the old town or Salzburg main station takes about 15 to 20 minutes and does not need the motorway. Several local taxi and transfer companies also serve ski resorts, but for those longer trips most travelers book ahead.

City bus 10 runs from the airport to the city center in about 15 minutes, every 15 minutes from Monday to Saturday. Bus 2 runs daily to Salzburg Hauptbahnhof in about 23 minutes, every 15 to 20 minutes, with a slower Sunday timetable. The line 2 stop is about 700 m from the terminal through a tunnel.

No. Salzburg Airport has no railway station. To reach the train network, take bus 2 to Salzburg Hauptbahnhof in about 23 minutes, or a taxi in about 15 to 20 minutes. From the main station, trains run across Austria and into Germany. Regional Postbus lines also leave from the stop in front of Terminal 1.

Yes. Uber serves Salzburg Airport, and pickups are arranged through the app, which shows the meeting spot when you request a ride. For drop-offs, drivers let you out at the curb of the terminal you select. If a car is slow to appear, the taxi rank in front of the terminal is the main alternative.

Several major ski areas are within about 90 minutes by road. Schladming is about 70 minutes away, Obertauern, Kitzbühel and Ellmau about 75 minutes, Zell am See-Kaprun about 80 minutes and Saalbach-Hinterglemm about 90 minutes. Local transfer companies serve these resorts, as well as Flachau, Wagrain and Bad Gastein.

Austria is in the Schengen Area. If you arrive from outside it, for example from the UK, you pass passport control; flights from Schengen countries skip this step. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026. The planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation.

Salzburg is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to summer time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. Austria uses the euro, the same currency as neighboring Germany. Winters bring snow and cold to the city and the Alps, and the ski season is the airport's busiest time of year.

Salzburger Flughafen GmbH runs the airport. It is owned by the State of Salzburg (75%) and the City of Salzburg (25%). The airport handled about 1.77 million passengers in 2025, slightly fewer than in 2024. It has a single 2,750 m runway, and Eurowings is the main base airline.
