Klagenfurt Airport: Successful AOPA Fly-in inspires private pilots!
Last weekend, Klagenfurt Airport was the scene of a very special event: The Aopa Austria "Fly-in" took place for the first time in Carinthia and attracted numerous aviation enthusiasts from all over Austria. The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) was founded in 1963 and can now look at more than 700 members and 12 partner associations. This makes it an important player in general aviation.Airport Managing Director Maximilian Wildt personally welcomed the participants and was happy about the election of the Klagenfurt Airport as the goal for the event. "Fly-in promotes the community, the exchange of experiences and exploring new travel destinations," said Wildt. He also emphasized the optimal suitability of the airport for the general aviation, which is characterized by personal service and quick handling.
diverse program and regional culinary
The two -day program offered the participants a variety of activities, including city tours in Klagenfurt, culinary tastings from the region and relaxing boat trips in the picturesque Wörthersee. The event took place in close cooperation with the tourist regions of Klagenfurt and Wörthersee-Rosental, which made the combination of airport, nature and regional gastronomy particularly successful.
AOPA President Robert Michl praised the attractiveness of Carinthia as the goal for private pilots and described the event as a resounding success. "We are pleased to present the Carinthia region and its treasures," said Michl. Klagenfurt Airport is particularly interesting for private pilots because of its less complex infrastructure and the good connection to scheduled flight. With connections to Vienna, Hanover, Cologne, London-Stansted, Alicante and Palma de Mallorca, the airport offers a comprehensive offer.
contribution to the economy
A central point of the Fly in was also the positive effect of the general aviation on the local economy and infrastructure. General Aviation not only contributes to the occupancy of the airport, but also strengthens the economic basis of the region. "We believe that the combination of line traffic and private aviation will support Klagenfurt Airport in its development," said Wildt.
The aviation community set out to discover new travel destinations and enjoy the experience at the Klagenfurt Airport. "It was a great feeling to be part of this great event," said one participant. The mutual exchange and the new friendships will be remembered for a long time. For the organizers and the participants, the fly-in was another step towards a lively and dynamic aviation community in Carinthia.
