Vienna Airport backs draft Austrian EIA law overhaul, urges faster approvals
  • Flughafen Wien welcomed a draft amendment to Austria’s Environmental Impact Assessment Act on Sept. 21, 2026, calling it a long-overdue step to speed up permitting and unlock investment.
  • Board member Günther Ofner said approval processes, including appeals, can take more than a decade, undermining competitiveness as markets, technology, and costs shift.
  • He urged policymakers to use the consultation phase to remove additional procedural hurdles while keeping clear rules for early objections and fixed deadlines.
  • Ofner said the reform must translate into materially shorter timelines to support investment, value creation, and jobs.
