Event Details

Get ready for an exciting experience, as IVAO Austria once again hosts the RFE (Real Flight Event) at Vienna Schwechat International Airport (LOWW) on August 2nd, 2025 from 08z to 18z! Vienna offers a unique blend of tradition and modernity. Imperial splendor (Schönbrunn Palace, Belvedere Palace, St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna State Opera), Art Nouveau architecture (Secession), and a rich musical heritage (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Strauss, Viennese waltz) meet modern design, contemporary art, and festivals (such as the Donauinselfest). Whether you're departing or arriving – you'll experience what it's like to be a real-life pilot flying into the heart of Europe. Don’t miss out on this opportunity! The best thing to do is book your slot now and get ready for an unforgettable event, because here it’s truly: *As real as it gets*. All surrounding FIRs are warmly invited to support us during the event with ATC – whether as ACC or by covering one of the many beautiful destinations. Austria’s national carrier, Austrian Airlines, serves more than 120 destinations worldwide. With its hub at Vienna Airport, it connects Austria to Europe and the entire world.
