PPR regulation:

If you fly with a private aircraft to the Bodensee Airport Friedrichshafen during the show days of AERO Friedrichshafen (April 17th – 20th) you need a slot for arrival and departure. You need to pre-register yourself online through the booking tool first.

Important: ONLY pre-registered users, can participate at the slot booking procedure!

This mandatory pre-registration ensures a fairer distribution of available slots. Users can also change their details in their account. As in previous years, pilots flying to AERO will again receive a free 1-day trade fair ticket code this year.

From mid-March, all registered users will be automatically informed by the booking system when they can access the slot booking system via a link by e-mail to book and purchase slots.

As demand generally exceeds slot capacity, slots are booked on a random computerised basis. If you do not receive any slots in the booking process for Friedrichshafen, we recommend switching to our neighbouring partner airfields, most of which are equipped with shuttle connections to AERO Friedrichshafen.

For ULs, we recommend the nearest UL airfield in Markdorf or Constance.
