Plan Your Visit

The center is located within the airport base in Schwechat and is easily accessible from central Vienna via the City Airport Train (CAT), S-Bahn, or car.

As the simulators are primarily used for professional airline training, all sessions must be booked in advance. Public availability is scheduled around operational training requirements, so early booking is recommended.

Guests are typically welcome to accompany participants inside the simulator cabin, where up to two spectators can observe the experience from the dedicated observer seats.
