On April 27, 1925, the first scheduled flight between Vienna and Poland took place, with Junkers F-13 operated by Polish airline LOT.

The airfield was operated by the Luftwafte, and was heavily fortified with bunkers, blast walls, Anti-Air positions, and hangars.

During World War II, the airfield was severely damaged and acquired by the Red Army in April 1945.

[4] Due to the expansion of runway 16/34 at Vienna Schwechat Airport, the airfield became an obstruction to the approaching zone.

The last aircraft took off on April 30, 1977, dragging a black flag behind to mark the end of Wien-Aspern Airport.

[1] In 1980, the airfield remained unused until the construction of the General Motors plant (Opel Austria) began on a section of the airport in 1982.
