Vienna Airport halts building of new terminal -CEO

VIENNA, June 30 (Reuters) - Vienna airport operator Flughafen Wien (VIEV.VI) has suspended construction of its new Skylink terminal but still expects it to be finished in 2011, chief executive Herbert Kaufmann said on Tuesday.

"There is a building suspension," Kaufmann told Reuters, adding he still hoped to open the terminal by July 2011.

The project has been riddled by delays and cost overruns. Kaufmann said he wanted to keep the costs well below 830 million euros ($1.16 billion). (Reporting by Alexandra Schwarz, Writing by Sylvia Westall; Editing by Dan Lalor) ($1 = 0.7143 euro)
