PIREPs by Seb

Perfect airfield with good ATC north and south circuit. Long runway, frequent traffic with good parallel operations. Bolt for 12€ in the city

My home base—what can I say—this is how a general aviation airfield should be. The only minor criticism is the hours of operation, which of course could be earlier and later. But of course there are people working there, and everyone is so helpful and friendly.

I landed here for the first time in August 2025 and was impressed by the professionalism of everyone involved. Prior to arrival, email communication with handling was excellent—they responded immediately and asked me to specify a few details. The airport has everything you need; the handling car is already waiting after vacating and takes you to the terminal. With Bolt it’s 8 EUR into town, which is quite nice, and a visit to the Budweiser brewery is absolutely worth it. I stayed overnight and indulged in Bohemian food and beer, which are significantly cheaper than at home.

I was in Wels for the Rotax FlyIn for the second time on 22 Aug 25 and would like to give high praise for this aerodrome. The radio comms are very professional and calm despite extremely heavy arrival and departure traffic; there is ample parking available, all types of fuel are available, and the on-site restaurant is excellent and reasonably priced. A taxi into town costs 12 euros and is on site within 5 minutes. I will be back next year at the latest.
