Operative corona prevention measures (aka hygiene concept) and situation assessment

Status: March 26, 2022

  • Approximately 29,000 people visited our site in 2021 and thousands of them actively participated in skydiving without a single, traceable infection or even contact tracing. With a reasonable hygiene concept adapted to current developments and with responsible behavior by all those involved, skydiving as an individual sport can also be practiced under Corona conditions without any noticeable restrictions.

    Of course, every visitor will have to form their own opinion about the risk situation on an ongoing basis and entering our company premises and participating in activities offered by us is at your own risk. People who are not sure whether they want to expose themselves to the residual risk of infection, which we can never completely rule out, should refrain from visiting.

    The safety and health of our guests, athletes and employees will always come first in 2022. With this hygiene concept, we meet the requirements of the current regulations of the state of Brandenburg and also the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

    Our following list of measures is adapted to the requirements of the safest possible operation after a daily situation assessment, which also includes regular exchange with doctors.
