New trains in November 2027

From November 2027, the City Airport Train (CAT) will set new standards in airport transport: new five-carriage double-decker KISS trains from Stadler will be deployed on the route between Vienna Airport and Vienna city centre. The KISS200 model has been specially designed for high passenger volumes. Its modern and aerodynamic design, spacious interior and high level of innovation make the train ideal for busy express services.
