Innsbruck Airport , also known as
Kranebitten Airport, is the largest
international airport in
Tyrol in western
Austria. It is located approximately 2.5 miles from the centre of
Innsbruck. The airport, which was opened in 1925, handles regional flights around the
Alps, as well as seasonal international traffic to further European destinations. During the winter, activity increases significantly, due to the high number of skiers travelling to the region.
