## Description

DHL anchors the air-freight side of Linz Airport Hörsching (IATA: LNZ, ICAO: LOWL), a dual-use field southwest of Linz shared by civil aviation and the Austrian Armed Forces' Vogler air base. The airport handled around 15,200 tonnes of air cargo in 2025, fed by a strong industrial hinterland that includes voestalpine, the BMW engine plant at Steyr and packaging group Greiner. On the passenger side, 2025 brought 262,347 travellers, up about 45 percent, after Austrian Airlines reinstated the Frankfurt link and Ryanair added London Stansted, Bari and Alicante. The apron connects directly to the A1 Westautobahn motorway, and on-site customs clearance speeds imports and exports. For intercontinental full-freighter capacity, Vienna (VIE, about 185 km) and Munich serve as alternatives.
