Salzburg Airport (LOWS/SZG)

Salzburg Airport (LOWS) sits 2 miles west of central Salzburg in Austria. The single 9,022 ft runway is typically long enough for large-cabin and ultra-long-range jets. Field elevation 1,411 ft, with modest summer density-altitude considerations. The surrounding Alpine terrain shapes approaches. Salzburg's structural flow is dominated by winter ski season (December–March) — gateway to Kitzbühel, Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Zell am See, Bad Gastein — plus the Salzburg Festival (late July through August) when Mozart-related cultural tourism drives extreme demand. Ground time to downtown Salzburg is 5–10 minutes; Kitzbühel via Autobahn A10 / B178 is 90 minutes; Hahnenkamm racecourse is 90.

Salzburg Airport, branded as Salzburg Airport W. A. Mozart, is Austria's second-largest airport. It serves Salzburg, the fourth-largest Austrian city, and is a gateway to Austria's numerous ski areas. The airport is located 1.7 NM west-south-west of the Salzburg City centre and 2 km (1.2 mi) from the Austrian-German border. It is jointly owned by Salzburg Municipality (25%) and Salzburg State (75%). The airport is named after the Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
