Event Details
Helau, Alaaf & ready for departure! ✈️ When confetti fills the air and the revelers slowly take over, it’s clear: the carnival season has begun. In 2026, we’re once again inviting you to experience Carnival from the air with us — this time compact, colorful, and all about the freedom of flying. No classic airbridge setup, but an open Carnival Fly-In/Fly-Out, with Cologne at the heart of the event, without being the only possible destination. On 07 February 2026, from 16z to 19z, the choice is yours: Whether you fly into Cologne, depart from there, or simply include the city in your route — anything goes. Cologne becomes the stage — you decide where to take off. We’re looking forward to a lively afternoon with you in carnival-themed airspace!
