<p class="blog-para">In 1910, the first powered aircraft taxied onto the new race track in Salzburg-Aigen. In 1926, Deutsche Luft Hansa inaugurated the Munich-Salzburg-Bad Reichenhall route. In 1927, the Vienna-Salzburg-Innsbruck route was started by LAG (Austrian Aviation AG). In one of the earlier incidents, Lufthansa, which flew the London-Brussels-Frankfurt-Munich-Vienna route with Sabena, made a forced landing in Salzburg. 1939 saw the introduction of the Berlin-Prague-Salzburg-Venice and Munich-Salzburg-Klagenfurt-Ljubljana-Rijeka routes, which were planned for the summer schedule. Additional services are instead provided directly at the check-in counters.</p>
<p class="blog-para">In spring 2014, the airport's home carrier, Austrian Airlines, announced the closure of their ticketing and service counters at Salzburg Airport due to decreasing demand. In August 2016, German low-cost airline Eurowings announced it would open its second Austrian base in Salzburg, with flights to six European metropolitan destinations starting in January 2017.</p>
<p class="blog-para">In May 2020, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Wizz Air announced six new routes, beginning in July 2020, creating new connections to the region. At the same time, Austrian Airlines announced the termination of their route from Salzburg to their hub at Vienna International Airport after 60 years, partially due to the heavily expanded Railjet high-speed train connections between the cities.</p>
