<p class="blog-para">At the end of World War II, Swiss authorities identified existing locations that were to be modernized as regional airports, a second tier of infrastructure to support the primary urban airports, with St. Gallen-Altenrhein being one of the five.</p>
<p class="blog-para">Austrian Airlines has served St.Gallen-Altenrhein from Vienna since 2003, when it took over the route from Rheintalflug, a predecessor of Inters KY. The airport decided to terminate the contracts with Austrian in 2011 and started their own airline, People's (formerly People's Viennaline), to serve the route. Austria decided to continue the route in direct competition as a result, there were up to six daily flights from the small airport to Vienna during that period. In spring 2013, Austrian Airlines announced the termination of its route to Vienna due to continuing losses as a result of the harsh competition. After that, People offered a codeshare agreement to Austria, which it declined.</p>
