From Friday until September 16, the Eurofighters will take off and land at the alternative airfield in Linz-Hörsching on several days. A series of major events around the Hinterstoisser airbase in Zeltweg make this measure necessary.

“Continuous unrestricted use of the infrastructure at Hinterstoisser Air Base is necessary to maintain continuous training and operational flight operations. Due to some major events, such as the ‘Schutzschild 2024’ (-> “Schutzschild 2024: First week is over) or the ‘Airpower 2024’ (-> current news about the mega air show), this cannot be fully guaranteed. The move to Linz-Hörsching also offers a good opportunity to practice all the measures necessary to maintain orderly flight operations away from the home base,” says Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner. https://militaeraktuell.at/partnerschaft-von-rheinmetall-mit-oesterreichischer-qus/ Eurofighter flight operations from the Forward Operating Site (FOS) Linz-Hörsching are planned for the following periods:

  • June 21 to 24
  • July 5 to 8
  • August 9 to 12
  • August 30 to September 10
  • September 13 to 16
