Vienna Airport - Lufthansa abandoned the construction of the second runway

A Austrian Airlines, part of Lufthansa since 2010, abandoned its plan for a second runway in Vienna due to pandemic-related projections. The airport's capacity was deemed sufficient with existing runways, leading to the decision. Similarly, in Lisbon, the TAP airline's future is uncertain following the pandemic, despite projections suggesting a capacity of 52 million passengers. The Lufthansa's acquisition of TAP aims to enhance growth, but challenges remain in significantly increasing passenger numbers. The focus is on competitive airport rates and efficient infrastructure, with Lisbon's airport needing to adapt to maintain its market position against competitors like Madrid.
