Good to know

Often morning weather is better than the afternoon in Franz Josef.
Weather changes really fast in Franz Josef, being flexible and able to change your flight time gives you a better chance of flying!
We recomend checking weather conditions two days prior to your flight.
There is not much space in the helicopter, just bring your sunglasses & camera.
