Air transport - requesting permission for an air event

Aviation events are associated with particular risks due to the increased traffic density and large number of visitors. They must therefore be meticulously planned, meticulously carried out and closely monitored. They place special demands on the reliability of the organizer and the participating pilots.

No aviation event may take place without our permission. We check whether the program and the participants guarantee that the event will be carried out safely and, if the event is approved, we take the necessary safety and noise protection precautions.

We monitor compliance with these requirements during the event.
