City Airport Train closed – what to do from September 2026?

From 7 September 2026 until the end of October 2027, the City Airport Train (CAT) suspends its regular rail service. The reason is extensive ÖBB renovation works on the Vienna S-Bahn main line. As a replacement, premium buses will run between Vienna Airport and Wien Mitte/Landstraße – but on the often congested A4 motorway. This means: no guaranteed journey times, no City Check-In, and significant delay risks at peak times.

The best alternative: private airport transfer with fixed price

A private airport transfer gives you everything the CAT replacement bus cannot: you are picked up or dropped off directly at your address – without transfers, without waiting at stops, and at a guaranteed fixed price. The driver monitors your flight and waits for delays. Around the clock, 365 days a year.

Why book now?

The CAT closure will significantly increase demand for airport transfers in Vienna. Those who book early secure a fixed appointment and can travel worry-free – whether for a business trip, family holiday or city break.
