TOP QUALIFIED, PROFESSIONAL AND EXPERIENCED

Your pilot and guide Manfred Lobenwein was born in Lienz, giving him an in depth local knowledge of East Tirol and the Lienz Dolomites from every angle!

He is fascinated by nature and the outdoors, as well as being hugely passionate about sports and mountain life. His greatest loves are flying and skiing, and managed to turn his passions into a career as he founded AIRTIME AUSTRIA in 2011, under the motto “it’s all about the passion”.

Manfred made his first flights in a paraglider as a teenager and completed the “basic paragliding course” in 1998. A few years later, and after many hours of training he completed the “special pilot’s license” and the “intercity license”. In 2006 Manfred successfully completed his training as a tandem paragliding pilot, after which he continued to gain experience flying in pairs in many different regions. In 2011 he founded AIRTIME AUSTRIA-Professional Tandem Paragliding in East Tirol, his own paragliding company.

During this period of time Manfred flew in the Austrian Paragliding League and took part in the Red Bull Dolomitenmann competition several times, celebrating some successes along the way.

As a consequence of these years of experience Manfred has attained a great level of understanding, know-how, and is well versed in the responsibilities and measures required to fly in a safe and enjoyable manner with his guests. Something that is reflected by the great deal of trust shown in him by all of his guests, whether the activity is on the slopes or in the air.

With AIRTIME AUSTRIA you will be in the hands of an experienced, responsible and diligent professional no matter what activity you undertake. Manfred prioritises safety as highly as enjoyment no matter what the situation!
