Opole
Scenic flight over Opole and air taxi from Opole
By plane or helicopter, from Opole-Polska Nowa Wieś (EPOP) or Opole-Kamień Śląski (EPKN). Fifteen to sixty minutes over Opole: the Oder and Pasieka island, Lake Turawa, St Anne mountain. Or from A to B: a light aircraft and a pilot who shares the costs with you, more often than you think cheaper than a taxi on the same route once you count the time.

Scenic flight over Opole
We take off from Opole-Polska Nowa Wieś (EPOP), climb, and within minutes you are over the Oder and Pasieka island. The route is agreed before the flight, for example over Lake Turawa and St Anne mountain, and one more circle over the house if someone wants the photo. A plane for two or three passengers; a helicopter when it has to make an entrance. The flight lasts fifteen minutes to an hour and ends where it began.
A scenic flight with a child
A healthy three-year-old can take a short scenic flight: a seat and a belt of their own, a headset in a child size, and a first flight of fifteen to twenty minutes in smooth morning or evening air. The rules set no minimum age for a passenger in a light aircraft or a helicopter; the pilot decides. A cold or an ear infection on the day: we move the date, free.
Air taxi from Opole
From A to B with an experienced private pilot who shares the direct costs with you (EU rules: up to six people including the pilot). Gather friends: more fun, less per head and a longer flight within reach. Charters and transfers are flown by licensed operators.
