Passenger Tax Austria

Flugabgabe Österreich - Calculation

The tax applies to the departure of a passenger from an international Austrian airport. Currently these are:

  • Vienna (LOWW)
  • Salzburg (LOWS)
  • Linz (LOWL)
  • Innsbruck (LOWI)
  • Klagenfurt (LOWK)
  • Graz (LOWG)

 

The tax is dependent on the length of the flight. It amounts to 

  • €30.00 per departing passenger for flights where the distance between departure and arrival airport is shorter than 350km
  • €12.00 per departing passenger for flights where the distance between departure and arrival airport is longer than 350km

 

The following exemptions apply:

  • Aircraft with MTOW < 2000kg
  • Military, humanitarian, ambulance, state, training, or private flights
  • Infants under 2y of age
  • Crew members including deadhead crews
  • Transit passengers with a layover <24h

 

If the transportation is subject to VAT, the rate of €12.00 or €30.00 includes VAT. So the duty itself comes up to €10.62 + €1.38 or €26.55 + €3.45 respectively.
