Linz Airport (IATA: LNZ) is a minor international airport located in Hörsching, near Linz, the third-largest city in Austria. Linz airport is operated by Flughafen Linz GmbH, which is owned in equal parts by OÖ Verkehrsholding GmbH and the city of Linz. As a central component of transport infrastructure in Upper Austria, Linz Airport guarantees mobility and accessibility and is becoming more and more important for the country. Linz Airport was established as an air, rail, and road intersection. 

The airport covers an area of 383 hectares of land and features one passenger terminal, two runways and extensive logistics and maintenance facilities. Linz Airport is relatively small, with 11 gates. There is a shop and café in the entrance hall, connected to the check-in and airline desks. Beyond the security checks, there is a duty-free shop and a small café accessible from both the domestic and international gate areas. The airport also has a roof terrace, which can be visited during the summer between 6 and 23 o'clock to observe the aeroplanes. For airport guests, access is free of charge. The rooftop also has a playground for children. For so-called plane spotters special viewing spots were created, where visitors can take pictures of the planes from a wide range of angles without worrying about any annoying obstacles.

The General Aviation Center is housed in a separate terminal and coordinates among others the following points: Passport and customs checks, refuelling, cleaning, defrosting as well as several other passenger and crew services. The airline pilot school AeronautX Luftfahrtschule is also located in the airport.
