Salzburg Airport, officially W. A. Mozart Airport, operates under the IATA code SZG and is Austria’s key regional gateway to the Alps. Located just 4 km (2.5 miles) west of Salzburg’s Old Town, the airport serves Salzburg city, Bavaria (Germany), and the wider Alpine region.

Salzburg Airport operates a compact, single-terminal layout (Schengen and Non-Schengen areas under one roof), making it fast and easy to navigate. It is a major access point for ski resorts in Austria and Germany, as well as cultural travel to Salzburg and Central Europe, handling strong seasonal passenger volumes—especially in winter.
