On June 26, 1914, the first official flight took off from Thalerhof airfield, which is now known as Graz Airport. The airport celebrated its 110th anniversary with a festive event and an expert discussion on current opportunities, risks and innovation possibilities. At the same time, the airport presented itself with a new brand identity for the future.
The celebrations attracted numerous representatives from politics, business, tourism and the media. Moderator Armin Assinger led the evening, while prominent speakers such as State Parliament President Manuela Khom and Mayor Elke Kahr highlighted the airport's importance for the region. The airport's commitment to CO2 neutrality by 2030 was also particularly emphasized, supported by projects such as a large-scale photovoltaic system.
The new brand identity as “Graz Airport” was officially presented, including a website relaunch and a modernized corporate design. This step is intended to position the airport as an international gateway to the world and overcome language barriers.
