It’s been quite a while since I travelled to Vienna by air, but IIRC there
is an S-Bahn that does the trick. OTOH, a few years ago they did major
work on the rail network in Vienna to make a new Hauptbahnhof, so there
might be better options now.

This has some information:

There's an expensive City Airport Train and a cheaper slower S-bahn.
They go to different places so it depends. The airport station is on
the lower level of the airport terminal.

Returning from the city, you can check in and check your luggage at
the city CAT terminal if you want.

I guess even ICE, RJ and RJx, if available,
may be used at regional VOR fare which includes
public transport (buss, undergraund, trams)
downtown until destination.

I found this chart that list all of the trains and OBB buses. No ICE
to the airport I can recall but plent of RJ at the same fare as the
local VOR:

I'm sorry, Ulf, but that is history.
In the ÖBB Routeplanner I see that the ICE's to / from Passau
departs from / end at Wien Hauptbahnhof.
You have to change there.

You can make your own "Timetable booklet" and see that there are no
direct trains from Passau to Wien Flughafen.

click on "Search Connection"
And then on "Timetable Booklet".

No ICE to the Airport of Wien.

'Was in the past'. Sorry if I did not make it clear enough.

Ideed, there were great announcemts for new ICE
Services to the Airport, not when These Services
stopped.

As usual....

And if I think about it, I cannot understand why people from Germany
(Passau and further away) should want to go "en masse" to the airport of
Vienna by train. They also can go to Frankfurt Flughaven by train.

Today the ÖBB RailJet trains from Salzburg and Linz stop at Vienna Airport.

Could you accept Vienna being closer to Passau than Frankfurt
as a reason?
Post by Rink
Today the ÖBB RailJet trains from Salzburg and Linz stop at Vienna Airport.
And there are even direct connections Wels - Vienna Airport.

So, passengers from Passau will have to change once.

And I am sorry for Graeme who won't be able to travel on
ICE from Vienna Airport.

Not that bothered for a trip into town :-) I've done ICE from Bruxelles
to Köln often enough.

Yes, that's a good reason.
But I think Nürnberg and Regensburg are closer to Frankfurt.
And of course it depends on to which city yoe want to fly and the prices
of the tickets...

Try SCOTTY, the ÖBB route planner.
<https://fahrplan.oebb.at/bin/query.exe/en>

choose Airport Vie
(or Flughafen Wien Bahnhof)
and choose your destination.

If you choose "all products", it gives you different sorts of trains,
but also busses.

Good luck!
