Similarly, Amsterdam was owned by the national government (76 per cent) and the municipalities of Amsterdam (22 per cent) and Rotterdam (2 per cent). Vienna airport was another example, owned by the republic of Austria (50 per cent), the province of Lower Austria (25 per cent), and the city of Vienna (25 per cent).
