Rundflüge der Startbahn-dba

Experience Erlangen and the surrounding region from a bird's eye view! A sightseeing flight from Herzogenaurach is a truly special experience for aviation enthusiasts and anyone who wants to become one.

Opening hours

Sightseeing flights possible in good weather.

The small sightseeing aircraft operated by Startbahn-dba Luftfahrtgesellschaft mbH take off from Herzogenaurach Airport 7 days a week, weather permitting. In these state-of-the-art, safe, and quiet, two-seater Pioneer 2/200 small aircraft, guests generally sit in the cockpit next to the pilot. Whether for a short tour over the city of Erlangen or a longer tour through Franconia, Bavaria, or Germany, every flight is a truly unique experience.

A wide selection of one-minute packages for "just flying around" is especially designed for aviation enthusiasts. These offer numerous opportunities to learn about aircraft technology – from the question of why an airplane flies to step-by-step demonstrations of how such a craft is controlled. Or – as long as the clouds permit – perhaps get up close and personal with the big jets? In about an hour of flight time, you'll immerse yourself in the world of the really big ones. The passenger plane takes off below you, the large cargo jet is at the same altitude, and the always friendly air traffic control is on the radio – small plane, big experience!
