Austria: Federal government to trade airports

This means that the provinces can secure the airports without the threat of the airports being bought by other companies. In the province of Steiermark, the airport shares are to be sold, with Sch 200mn of the Sch 350mn expected selling price to be spent on the new art house. The Formula 1 company in Zeltweg will receive the rest for its maintenance.
