The terminal landscape of Salzburg Airport, consisting of the base building from 1966, is reaching the end of its life cycle structurally, technically and officially. A fundamental renovation is unavoidable for international airport operations in Salzburg. Various companies, including ATP Architects Engineers and ATP Sustain, applied for the project and were able to win the award process with innovative ideas.
"We took our time to find an attractive planning concept. The initial concept presented by ATP Architects Engineers was rated as the best by the evaluation committee. This gives us a good basis on which we can build in the further planning phase in the coming months," commented airport managing director Bettina Ganghofer.
"Salzburg Airport plays an important role as a driving force for the economy, tourism and employment in our region. The terminal development is an important step to further consolidate Salzburg as a business location and boost regional value creation," adds Chairman of the Supervisory Board and Deputy Governor Stefan Schnöll.
In addition to the main "terminal development" project, further structural adjustments are required to transform the airport into an energy-optimized ensemble by 2033. The current terminal landscape consists of more than a dozen buildings that have been created over the decades through adjustments or additions. These are now being completely renovated, expanded, architecturally and spatially connected and adapted to modern technical and regulatory standards.
Departure Terminal 2 will be expanded and converted, the centrally located check-in hall will be adapted and expanded to include a catering and AIR experience world level. Together with the successively new arrival terminal 1, this will form the new terminal landscape of Salzburg Airport.
