In recent months he has brought stability and professionalism back to Klagenfurt Airport after very turbulent times.

Now it’s about working with the new management to make it successful again and prepare it for the future,” said Deputy Governor Martin Gruber (ÖVP).

“I would like to thank the owner representatives for the trust they have placed in me and look forward to working intensively with my committed team to lead Klagenfurt Airport into a successful future. Even though we are facing major challenges, I am absolutely convinced of the potential of our airport,” said Maximilian Wildt, Managing Director at the airport.
