At 9 a.m., the starting signal for the tenth edition of Europe’s largest air show was given in the Upper Styrian Zeltweg. 300,000 enthusiasts are expected on Friday and Saturday. This was already noticeable on the streets early in the morning…
The camping chair in the right hand, the cool box in the left: the biggest Airpower fans made the pilgrimage early on Friday to the area at the airfield in Hinterstoisser, where for two days everything will revolve around planes. A total of 300,000 people are expected in Zeltweg in Styria. Slight traffic jams with a delay of up to 30 minutes. The crowds were noticed on arrival: Coming from the south, the first time at the St.Michael motorway junction was walking pace, even after the exit on the S36 In the direction of the Zeltweg, it backed up to the event site. Increased traffic is to be expected until around noon. Returning traffic from vacation is aggravating – the A9 is particularly affected. Fewer parking spaces this year Incidentally, parking is only permitted with a valid ticket, available in advance via Ö-Ticket. Because the number of parking spaces has been reduced by half, it is generally advisable to travel by public transport or by bicycle. Many chose to walk the last few meters (see pictures below). Best conditions for the first planes. The progress at the entrance was brisk, and the first spectators were already marveling at the first aircraft on the site in the sunshine, which are on display there for the next two days . Shortly after 9 a.m. the starting signal was given with the “Eurofighter Typhoon”. You can find the entire program at: https://www.airpower.gv.at.
