Leaflet on conduct at Vienna Airport

I. General Provisions

  1. Flughafen Wien Aktiengesellschaft (VIE) may impose restrictions on any access authorizations at any time. At the request of the airport operator and the persons responsible for compliance with the safety requirements, all persons on non-generally accessible parts of the airport must identify themselves. Under special circumstances, identity checks can be carried out.

  2. The provisions of the EU Regulation 300/2008 or the EU Regulation 2015/1998, the EU Regulation 139/2014, the Aviation Safety Act (LSG), the Aviation Act (LFG), the Civil Airport Conditions (ZFBB), the Civil Airport Operational Regulations (ZFBO), the Civil Airport Ordinance (ZFV) and the Air Traffic Regulations (LVR) in their current version must be adhered to.

  3. The currently valid version of the Road Traffic Act (“Straßenverkehrsordnung”) and the house rules apply to the generally accessible / drivable parts of Vienna Airport. The airside regulations also apply to parts that are not generally accessible/passable. Vehicles may only be parked in designated areas.

  4. Except for manned checkpoints, after passing through an automatically closing gate, you must wait for it to close. In the case of gates that do not close automatically, the user must ensure that the passage or passage is closed. The holder of the access or access authorization is responsible for ensuring that no unauthorized persons or vehicles pass by him, otherwise they must be reported to the Security Operation Center immediately.

  5. Access to the security area (sensitive part of the security area) is permitted after a security check. The person authorized to access must authorize the security check regarding themselves, the items they are carrying and, if necessary, their vehicle. If consent is not given, access to or access to the security area will be denied by Vienna Airport or its representatives.

  6. Prohibited items in accordance with EU Regulation 2015/1998 must not be carried into the security area, otherwise access to or access to the security area will be denied by Vienna Airport or its representatives

  5. I declare my consent in accordance with Section 134a LFG to carrying out and legally required repetition of extended background checks ("Zuverlässigkeitsüberprüfung"), which are subject to a fee, on myself by the responsible authority. If I apply for the Airport ID Card for third parties (e.g. employees), I declare that (i) they have given corresponding consent or (ii) I am authorized to give corresponding consent on their behalf.

  6. Please note that image data and biometric palm templates of the Airport ID Card holder must be recorded for access control purposes. This is done on site, before the Airport ID Card is handed over to the holder.
