Wien Radar is located within the LOVV FIR, covering the area surrounding Vienna from SFC to FL245. It also controls a small area of the Budapest FIR from FL055 to FL245.
Wien Radar is surrounded by the FIRs of Vienna (LOVV), Prague (LKAA), Bratislava (LZBB) and Budapest (LHCC).
Aircraft departing from runway 29 make a left turn at 1,000 feet due to restricted airspace LOR-15, which lies over the city of Vienna, and extends up to FL100.

IFR flights are allowed to enter this airspace when approaching the airport eastbound or southbound.
