How event travel works in Germany
Munich Airport's general aviation terminal for Oktoberfest and IAA Mobility, Berlin Brandenburg's general aviation terminal for the Berlinale, the DFB-Pokal final and the Berlin Marathon, and Nuremberg or the small Bayreuth airfield for the Bayreuth Festival.
Germany's big events are spread across the country, and each has a business aviation airport within about an hour of the venue.
Munich and Berlin both have dedicated general aviation terminals, so you clear the airport quickly and drive straight into town. Bayreuth has its own airfield with a short runway; most jets use Nuremberg, about an hour away by car.
Every flight is operated by a certified operator named on your quote, and we arrange the car from the terminal to the venue.
