Since September 2023, extensive renovation work has been carried out on the A10 Tauernautobahn in the area of the tunnels between Werfen and Golling.
This means that only one lane of the freeway can be used on a stretch of around 13 kilometers, making traffic jams and delays very likely for freeway journeys from the airport to the ski resorts and vice versa. Transport companies, which normally estimate one hour for transfers from the winter sports resorts, now expect transfer times of around 2 to 2.5 hours. The latest developments on the roads can be found on the ASFINAG and ÖAMTC websites.
ASFINAG-Baustelle: Salzburg Airport asks all guests - especially passengers flying home - to allow sufficient time for their arrival and departure so that check-in at the airport can be carried out as planned and the planes can take off on time.
Salzburg Airport maintains a lively exchange of information with its Scandinavian, German and English travel partners and the region's tourism partners. In addition to bus logistics, the issue of drivers' rest periods is also a major challenge for the tourism industry. For vacation guests who have to wait longer for their departure, the airport has rented a compensation area (DOC Outletcenter waiting area) in order to be prepared in the event of an emergency. Guests should be well accommodated for the duration of the wait!
Regional bus brings winter guests from the airport to Pongau on Saturdays
Since December 16, bus route 270 has established a direct connection between Salzburg Airport and Eben im Pongau. The bus line transports guests between Eben and Salzburg Airport with 6 rotations on Saturdays. Hotel shuttles no longer have to drive to the city of Salzburg, but can pick up guests at the Eben Park and Ride parking lot and drop them off for the return transfer. Three stops are served: Salzburg Central Station - Salzburg Airport (Terminal) - Eben P+R. In the area of the ASFiNAG construction site, the buses use the prioritization of scheduled buses, which means that they can use the emergency lane if there is a traffic jam. According to the timetable, the buses between the airport and Eben P+R take 70 minutes.
