Hidden pearl on Lake Constance: St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport!

St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport, a small but fine air traffic node in Switzerland, attracts interest with its idyllic location on Lake Constance. Every year he promotes around 75,000 passengers, mainly on the connection to Vienna, but also popular holiday destinations such as Mallorca, Ibiza and Corfu are on the flight schedule. From 2025, connections according to Elba, Brac and Olbia will also be offered, such as Schwaebische.de reported.

A highlight of the airport is the record-breaking short check-in process, which is considered the fastest in Switzerland. In addition to the line flights, the People’s Air Group also offers charter flights. The airport systems include a small passenger terminal in which passengers without jet bridges get directly to the roller field to climb their Embraer 170 or other small aircraft. St. Gallen-Altenrhein has developed into an important regional airport since its foundation in the 1920s, such as the chronicle on Wikipedia Show.

renovation work planned

For the period from August 9th to 29th, 2025, all flights are set because a renovation of the slopes is due. This happens in a targeted manner in August when the demand is traditionally the least, so tour operators have to consider alternative departure locations in Friedrichshafen or Memmingen. These measures are necessary to secure the infrastructure of the airport for the future.
