Klagenfurt airport to become a business hub
The majority shareholder Lilihill Capital (74.9%) intends to expand the airport in Klagenfurt (KLU, Austria) to become "the most modern, most efficient and most passenger-friendly airport in Europe until 2024". A plan to this effect, according to which funds of more than EUR 1 billion are to be invested in the new “aviation city Klagenfurt”, was presented to the public this week.
In addition to the airport, the new hub will include a logistics centre (Avilog) and a technology park (Avimotion TecPark). The location immediately adjacent to the motorway junction and very close to already existing industrial areas is described as “perfect for a development project to the northeast of the airport.” It is also believed that the new hub “will further improve Carinthia’s position as an important location for international business.” (ah)
