What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Travelers generally have a positive impression of Stockerau Airfield (LOAU), describing it as a pilot-friendly and welcoming location with very helpful staff. It is particularly favored by private pilots looking for an accessible alternative to busier airports.

What Travelers Love

Pilot-Friendly Atmosphere: The airfield is known for its welcoming environment and is considered a good option for private aviation, located away from the hustle of Vienna International Airport (LOWW).
Helpful Staff: Reviewers consistently mention the very kind and helpful staff.
Free Courtesy Car: A significant perk is the availability of a free courtesy car (Fiat Cinquecento) for arriving guests to use for local transportation, with the expectation that it is refueled.
Training Facilities: The airfield hosts a flight school offering motor and glider flight training.
Good Location for Vienna Access (with caveats): It is well-located for access to Vienna, approximately 15 nautical miles northwest of the city.

Common Complaints

Cash-Only Payments: A frequently mentioned inconvenience is that only cash payments are accepted, including for fuel.
Limited Local Taxi Services: Taxis primarily operate locally and need to be arranged at least two hours in advance for transport to destinations further afield, such as the railway station for connections to Vienna.
No RNAV (GNSS) Approach: The absence of an RNAV (GNSS) approach can be a limitation in challenging weather conditions with low cloud cover.
Customs/Immigration Process for Non-Schengen: While international flights are possible, travelers from non-Schengen countries must pre-register with the Stockerau police and the Hollabrunn customs office. Stockerau is not a designated "Airport of Entry", implying a more administrative than facilitated customs process.

Stockerau Airfield (LOAU) is highly recommended for private pilots seeking a friendly, accessible, and generally cost-effective base near Vienna, provided they are prepared for cash-only transactions and pre-arranged ground transportation. Its community-oriented atmosphere and courtesy car are particular highlights.
