On July 27, 2024, a protest took place at Vienna Airport, during which demonstrators scattered confetti and attempted to block passenger routes. Despite the disruptions, flight operations continued as planned.

Vienna Airport sharply criticized the actions and described them as "pointless and counterproductive activism" that neither contributes to the climate protection debate nor has a positive effect. The airport stressed that air traffic in Europe only accounts for a small share of 0,52% of CO2 emissions, and in Austria it is only 0,16%.

The airport's security forces and staff redirected passengers to avoid delays. The airport announced that it would take criminal action against those responsible and demand reimbursement for damage and clean-up work. Vienna Airport thanked the police and its own security forces for their efforts.
