Venezia/Lido Airport (LIPV)

by Tiziano2026-06-23 13:37:27 UTC

I flew to Venice Lido with the GlaStar for the weekend. I paid for an MTOW of 889 kg and 20 hours of parking: 98 euros. This has nothing to do with being cheap anymore...!
However, the airfield is very easy to approach, and you can easily reach the town by public transport boats. The airfield also has a restaurant on site.

Hohenems Dornbirn Airport (LOIH)

Very friendly staff! Observe the approach procedures; there are local residents who are not happy if the approach is not flown correctly. Landing, including customs clearance for Switzerland: 19€. Good restaurant on the field, and there’s also a cinema nearby.

Totana Airport (LETX)

by Tiziano2026-03-04 08:49:05 UTC

Very friendly Aerodrome Manager—came out to the aerodrome especially to greet us. On-field restaurant, but only open on weekends. Mostly parachute operations on weekends; it makes the field very lively. Aircraft parking is located on the other sides of the hangars, marked with a "P", but it’s hard to see. We’ll be back!

Fees: -

by Tiziano2026-03-04 08:42:16 UTC

The staff attend to parked aircraft attentively and will notify you promptly by phone if, for example, strong winds give cause for concern.

Fees:

Overnight parking outside: 6 €

Biel Kappelen Airport (LSZP)

by Tiziano2026-02-20 07:56:30 UTC

Still one of the most beautiful grass airfields in Switzerland. The runway and taxiways are in excellent condition and, even after rain, remain firm and fully usable. Very friendly and helpful people on the field. The Indian restaurant right on the airfield is highly recommended; be sure to try the food!

Lugano Airport (LSZA)

by Tiziano2026-02-20 07:48:06 UTC

Great aerodrome with very friendly staff. On arrival, ATC usually asks for the planned ground time. Compared to Locarno, the field is rather expensive. There is a bar on the field where you can also get light snacks. The train station is about a 10-minute walk away. Landing fee for 890 kg MTOW: 77 CHF

by Tiziano2026-02-20 07:38:32 UTC

The aerodrome is great; there’s a model airfield right next door. The town is within walking distance. There are some potholes on the taxiway—use caution! The landing fee for 600 kg MTOW is 18 CHF.

Locarno Airport (LSZL)

by Tiziano2026-02-20 07:34:07 UTC

It's one of the coolest aerodromes in Switzerland and offers a nice view of Lago Maggiore. There's a pizzeria and the landing fees are inexpensive. On a fine weekend day it can get quite busy! Please observe the PPR hours!

  • Avgas available; Mogas expected to be available soon
  • Landing fee CHF 13.- for 600 kg MTOW and above

Are you sure?
