Taxi Flights

Discover Austria’s smallest air carrier, THE FLYING SOFA, offering on-demand taxi flights from Innsbruck. Experience unmatched aerial views and swift connections across Tirol’s peaks and valleys.

Positioned in the heart of Tirol, Innsbruck offers more than alpine adventures at ground level. At Fürstenweg 180, THE FLYING SOFA operates as Austria’s smallest air carrier, delivering a fresh way to connect with the surrounding landscape — through personalized taxi flights. This unique business caters to travelers and transport needs alike, providing air taxi services and on-demand delivery within a 150-kilometer radius, extendable up to 400 kilometers under ideal weather.

From the general aviation gate at Innsbruck Airport, passengers embark on flights that reveal a rare perspective of the North Alpine chain, the Inn Valley, and the dramatic peaks defining this section of the Eastern Alps. Clear skies translate into vistas of rugged limestone cliffs, dense spruce forests, and snow-capped summits, punctuated by the winding rivers and quaint villages below. THE FLYING SOFA stands apart by offering flexible, fast access to airfields across Tirol and neighboring regions, enabling travelers to bypass traditional ground routes that can be slow or seasonal.

Equally, air delivery of small items adds a practical dimension, serving local businesses and individuals with urgent or hard-to-transport cargo. Innsbruck itself balances rich history and outdoor culture. Known for its Olympic legacy and centuries-old alpine traditions, it’s surrounded by terrain that invites winter sports, hiking, and mountaineering.

THE FLYING SOFA extends this outdoor spirit skyward, bridging backcountry destinations and urban hubs with seamless flight connections. Operating primarily in daylight and clear weather to ensure safety and enjoyment, flights are tailored per request from single passengers or cargo clients. This combination of adventure and functionality makes THE FLYING SOFA a vital and innovative fixture, enhancing mobility within Austria’s alpine heartland.
