Linz Airport (LOWL)

by Matthias • 2026-08-07 08:50:41 UTC

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.

Karlovy Vary Airport (LKKV)

Quick refueling stop in LKKV without leaving the airport on a Sunday in July. Approach via OKG routing (IFR with DA42, max 2000kg) very easy, although the Controller let me down only to 8000ft due to an active glider area below, but still early enough to catch the ILS. Refueling ordered by the very friendly handling agent and done within minutes by truck. Jet A1 @ 12/07/2026 for 49,80 CZK = 2,02€. Handling Fee 423,50 CZK (17,50 €), Landing Fee 726 CZK (30€), all values gross (VAT). I did not register upfront, just filed the plan and flew. Very nice and easy.

Are you sure?
