The Dropzone
Wiener Neustadt´s Flugplatz West (LOXN) is one of the oldest and biggest grass airfields in Europe. 40km/ 25mi south of Vienna, it can be easily reached by train or by car in 30 minutes each – well, depending on the traffic of course.
Our club, founded in 1972, has significantly influenced the development of skydiving and has become one of the largest dropzones in Austria. Many of our members have decades of experience and are looking forward to coaching you!
Opening hours
During the main season, from the end of March to the beginning of September, we jump on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. until sunset. Depending on the demand, we also usually offer jumping Wednesday to Friday, from June to September.
Additionally, we organize special jump weeks in summer!
Check out our Jump Calendar for further information, or our social media platforms.
