Accelerated Expansion of Air Traffic

The cyclical upswing and lower fares have stimulated the expansion of air traffic in the last two years. However, air transportation in Austria is still less developed than in other countries. The number of passengers per inhabitant is 50 percent higher in Germany and five times higher in the U. S. Further expansion in Austria will hardly be constrained until the year 2000, due to additional infrastructure capacities created in the mid-seventies.
