The first day of the Airpower 2022 air show in Zeltweg is in full swing. Tens of thousands have traveled to the largest air show in Europe. It is a huge spectacle: here you will find the most beautiful pictures!
The Airpower22 air show of the Federal Army, Red Bull and the State of Styria started Friday in Zeltweg in Upper Styria with a flag jump and a “Skytext” as well as a thunderous Eurofighter overflight – with 200 aircraft and an expanded regional environmental concept through shorter transport routes, climate-friendly arrival and much more regionality.

A Flying Bulls PC-6 Turbo Porter took off Friday morning and wrote ‘Welcome to Airpower22’ in the air with artificial smoke, which was legible for only a few seconds at this altitude. This was followed by a crashing overflight of a Eurofighter of the German army, which made a so-called traffic pattern. During a flag jump, paratroopers with Styrian and Austrian flags slid to the ground.
Traffic jams, but no accidents
Especially at the exit Zeltweg West on the S36 from the direction of Judenburg, there were traffic jams of up to two kilometers in the morning. Police said there were no reports of any accidents. It was requested to use the Ö-Ticket to reserve a parking space. This would help avoid delays. The most stress-free journey is using public transport.
Defense Secretary Klaudia Tanner (ÖVP) welcomed the “great approval” and “impulse to the region” during her visit on Friday. Tristan Schulze’s music piece for helicopters and airplanes “Vibes in the Sky” specially composed for this year was also a first highlight.
Minister announces “largest innovation package”.
“We expect about 300,000 spectators over the two days. There are about 300 accredited media people, about 2,000 spotters, 50 doctors and more than 200 paramedics will provide medical care,” Tanner summed up. According to the minister, the event also shows what resources the army needs: “We are facing the largest package of innovations.” Airpower is the largest military exercise in 2022 and can be environmentally friendly. That will be analyzed after the event,” said the minister.
