Pleasant flight!
The Vienna Airport mobile app
With the Vienna Airport mobile app, passengers are conveniently provided with the latest information about their flights via push notification. The VIE app also provides other useful information such as luggage, parking space availability and restaurants.
Task
Looking back at 2010: Smartphones were already common reality, but suitable applications still had to be developed. A small team at the time, we were still able to convince Vienna Airport of our expertise and won the contract for this project.

The problem
2010: With 24.5 million passengers, Vienna International Airport is the largest and most important airport in Austria. While other international airports already offer mobile solutions for better on-site orientation or for easy management of flights and flight data, Vienna Airport has to catch up.
The solution
The VIE app was developed natively for Android and iOS. The app connects to the flight data interfaces of Vienna Airport, allowing users to receive push notifications in real time. These notifications inform about arrivals, departures, delays and provide additional information such as a travel check list, parking space availability and more.
Conclusion
The VIE app helps hundreds of passengers every day to find their way around the airport and to get up-to-date information about their flights.
