The first airport in Innbruck was opened in 1925, in the Eastern part
of the city with the first scheduled flight Munich-Innsbruck.
Approaches and departures cause a very strong noise, because the sound
waves are reflected by the mountains. Because of that the airport in
Innsbruck has the lowest international noise control category III
according to ICAO 1990. Additional the Innsbruck airport has the most
severe operation times of all airports in Austria.
The airport in Innbruck has a very high importance for the tourism
region of Tirol. Especially the charter air traffic is very high during
the winter tourism.
