From 7 September 2026 until the end of October 2027, ÖBB has closed the central section of Vienna’s main S-Bahn line between Wien Praterstern and Wien Hauptbahnhof, including Wien Mitte (Landstraße) station. Neither the S7 airport train nor the City Airport Train runs to the airport by its usual route during the closure.^[3],[4],[5]

Railjet and Intercity trains still run between Wien Hauptbahnhof and the airport. ÖBB gives the journey as 15 minutes non-stop, with trains every half hour; some of them also stop at Wien Meidling.^[3],[6]

During the closure the S7 runs only between the airport and St. Marx, where you change to tram line 18 or 71 to continue towards the city centre. REX7 runs from Wien Hauptbahnhof towards the airport, stopping at Kaiserebersdorf and Schwechat. The airport’s own rail page still lists the S7 to Wien Mitte (25 minutes), so check ÖBB’s journey planner before you rely on it.^{[3],[4],[5],[7]}

The City Airport Train (CAT) is currently running as a coach service, expected to continue until 31 October 2027. The coaches run non-stop between the airport and Wien Mitte in 21 minutes, every 12 minutes between 7 am and 7 pm and every 15 minutes at other times. At the airport they leave from Terminal 3, bus terminal, bus station 0; the first coach leaves at 6:10 am and the last at 11:37 pm. Full-price tickets cost €14.90 single and €24.90 return.^[8],[9]
