Ground transportation
The airport is connected to Vienna and other cities in Austria by trains, buses, taxis and car rental services. The railway station is integrated into the airport complex, while buses and taxis operate from ground transportation areas near the terminals.
Several services connect the airport with Vienna:

REX7: provides another rail connection to Wien Hauptbahnhof via an alternative route, taking approximately 20 minutes.
S7: due to railway construction work, this line currently terminates at St. Marx, where passengers can continue to other parts of Vienna using public transportation.
City Airport Train (CAT): its train service has temporarily been replaced by CAT by bus, providing a direct connection between the airport and Wien Mitte/Landstraße in approximately 21 minutes.
Important: railway construction work has affected S7 and CAT services since September 2026, with completion expected in October 2027. During this period, passengers should check the available connections before traveling, particularly when heading to Wien Mitte.
The main connections include:
Schwedenplatz / Morzinplatz: a connection to central Vienna and metro lines U1 and U4 via the VAB2 service. The journey takes approximately 20 minutes, with departures available 24 hours a day.
