Pilot Comments for LOWL
Klaus
For training purposes, flew an ILS approach followed by holding, and an RNP approach. Tower was very relaxed and friendly. I haven't received the invoice yet, but the subsequent contact with the administration was exceptionally friendly as well.
Matthias
Flight (IFR) and overnight stay with a DA42 - very professional ATC and Tower, pretty busy when I approached but very calm and relaxed Controllers who managed very professional. Landing 40,41€, Parking 8,08 (1 night), Approach fee 39,43 (all plus 20% Tax). Short walk to the terminal (no need to say that a warn west is required). Public bus to Linz (Main station) departing usually one/hour from the main terminal, 3 minutes walk from the GAT. Bus can be paid by credit card at the driver. To reach down-town (Hauptplatz) change into "BIM" (Strassenbahn) is required at Main station (or at Unionstrasse). Motel One at Hauptplatz is my preferred stay.

Last update 2015-08-18: Practiced IFR approaches; ATC & Tower very helpful.
Parking far from the GAT (piston only, no turbine). No crew bus showed up, so a short walk to the GAT.
GAT very helpful with hotel search.
Wi-Fi free of charge.
AVGAS 2,55€/L by fuel truck, Shell; payment cash/credit card to the refueller.
Good value for a full commercial airport: 980kg MTOW, 3x IFR Approach + 1x LDG + 1x apron stand overnight: 26,66€.
Last update 2015-09-23: Addendum to the PIREP of 18.8.2015: The 26,66€ includes only 1x IFR Approach. 2x IFR Approaches were subsequently billed by mail for an additional 22,44€ (i.e. 11,22€ per IFR Approach).

Flew into Linz today for IR training. As always, from Radar to Tower to the GAT crew, everyone was very friendly and helpful. Multiple training approaches possible without prior notification. Since most procedures are on the RWY centerline, ATC appreciates flexibility and willingness to accept vectors so the centerline isn’t blocked for too long. Avgas self-service on the apron (Mastercard/Visa). Pulling the aircraft by hand 20 m to the fuel station is not permitted; a FollowMe must lead in front, even with the engine off. Overall, great service, normal fees, just as you’d expect.

Linz (LOWL) is a friendly, efficient airport suitable for general aviation, with uncomplicated IFR and VFR procedures and helpful ATC. Both approach and landing fees are charged, and for IFR arrivals, advance completion of a GA form online or by phone is recommended. Customs is available on site with straightforward procedures for both EU and non-EU flights.
Fees for landing, approach, and parking typically range from about €50 to €100 for short stays with single-engine aircraft, depending on duration and services. Example: landing, IFR approach, and two nights’ parking about €60. Additional surcharges may apply: one report notes a follow-up invoice of about €130 for passenger and security charges after an initial fee of about €200. For training flights, each approach is charged separately; discounts apply only to approved training organizations.
AVGAS is available via self-service with credit card payment. Jet A1 requires advance ordering of a release number (at least one hour ahead) by email to dispatch@360jetfuel.com; without this, fueling is delayed. Confirm all Jet A1 costs in writing before fueling to avoid unexpected surcharges. Payment issues have occurred in the past; credit card acceptance has varied—check current arrangements before arrival.
The GA terminal (GAT) is adjacent to the main terminal with short walking distances; no shuttle needed for most movements. Facilities include a comfortable GA lounge with free WiFi and access to restaurants in the main terminal. Hangarage is available but may be limited for transient aircraft.
Ground transport options include a bus from directly in front of the terminal to Linz city center every 15 minutes; tickets are purchased on board. Taxis cost around €30–€35 to the city center. Car rental is available at the airport.
Overall, Linz offers professional service, short turnaround times, and easy access to town, making it well-suited for non-commercial GA flights.
