The Austrian Climate Protection and Mobility Ministry developed the relevant plans with the railway company ÖBB.

The aim is to increase the number of passengers and make railway transport attractive for shipping companies. Apart from other lines (Brenner tunnel, Graz-Klagenfurt, etc.), the ambitious project includes some Hungarian relevance.

Travel time between Budapest and Vienna would decrease by 20 minutes. Furthermore, the Austrians will build a new railway line to the international airport. As a result, the airport will become easily reachable even from Budapest and Bratislava.
