Largest airports in Austria
The most significant airports in the database for this country are Vienna International Airport (LOWW/VIE), Linz-Hörsching Airport (LOWL/LNZ), Graz Airport (Feldkirchen bei Graz) (LOWG/GRZ), Salzburg Airport (LOWS/SZG) and Klagenfurt Airport (Klagenfurt am Wörthersee) (LOWK/KLU).
Weather reports identify an airport by its four-letter ICAO code, not by the IATA code - which is why the METAR for LOWW is available even for airports with no ticketing code. The airports of Austria are spread across 53 municipalities listed in the database.
Airports by classification
How the airports break down: small airports and airfields - 46; large airports - 6; medium-sized airports - 3; heliports - 1.
The classification comes from OurAirports and describes the size of the infrastructure, not passenger traffic. Regular METAR and TAF reports come mostly from the larger airports; small airfields often publish none at all - in that case the nearest reporting station is listed in the "nearby airports" section of the airport page.
Geographic span and time zones
The northernmost airport in the database is Dobersberg Airfield (LOAB) (48°55'N), the southernmost is Ferlach-Glainach Airfield (LOKG) (46°32'N). East to west the extremes are Spitzerberg Airfield (Hundsheim) (LOAS) (16°56'E) and Hohenems-Dornbirn Airfield (LOIH/HOH) (9°42'E).
The highest airport is Sankt Anton am Arlberg Heliport (LOIC/ANT) at 4,730 ft / 1,442 m above sea level, the lowest is Brumowski Air Base (Tulln an der Donau) (LOXT) (574 ft / 175 m). Elevation matters when reading a report: METAR cloud bases are given above aerodrome level, not above mean sea level.
The airports here sit in 2 time zones: Europe/Prague and Europe/Vienna. METAR and TAF are always issued in UTC (the "Z" suffix), which is why every airport page runs a clock in the airport's own local time next to the report.
METAR and TAF for airports in Austria
Each airport page shows the raw METAR plus a full decode: flight category (VFR, MVFR, IFR, LIFR), wind direction and speed with gusts, visibility, weather phenomena, cloud layers with their bases, temperature, dew point and QNH pressure. The TAF forecast is split into its validity periods including the change groups (BECMG, TEMPO, PROB).
METAR is normally issued every 30 or 60 minutes and TAF four times a day, with extra amendments when conditions change. The data comes from the Aviation Weather Center (NOAA) and is fetched live on every visit.
