TAKE OFF Skydiving

What TAKE OFF Skydiving does

Revenue is generated through five streams: tandem skydiving from 2,500m and 4,000m (with a newer 6,000m premium option) priced at €209–€239 per jump, AFF and conventional skydiving training from introductory courses through full licensing, an in-house rigging loft and online equipment shop (shop.funjump.de) shipping across the EU and EFTA states, photo and video add-ons for tandem jumps, and corporate/group event packages with catering and shuttle service. The company also runs a Para-TAKEOFF inclusion program for disabled jumpers using an in-house tandem handicap system. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the funjump.de website, telephone booking, walk-in at the dropzone, and a free shuttle from the nearby railway station; licensed sport skydivers engage through the affiliated TAKE OFF Fallschirmsport Fehrbellin e.V. registered association, which anchors a 'home dropzone' community model across disciplines including RW, Freefly, Wingsuit, and Atmonauti.

Direct peers

• Fallschirmsportzentrum Pfalz: Fallschirmsportzentrum Pfalz is a long-established German skydiving center offering tandem jumps and training programs. It competes with TAKE OFF in the German tandem and AFF training market, particularly in southwest Germany.
• FLY ALL Ways: FLY ALL Ways is a German skydiving center offering tandem jumps, AFF training, and sport skydiving services. It is a direct peer in the German market, competing with TAKE OFF for first-time jumpers, training students, and licensed sport skydivers.
• Skydive Saar: Skydive Saar is one of the larger skydiving centers in Germany offering tandem jumps, AFF training, and sport skydiving facilities. It competes with TAKE OFF for German tandem customers, AFF students, and licensed sport skydivers choosing a home dropzone.
• Skydive Europe (formerly Flevoland): Skydive Europe is a major Dutch/German skydiving center offering tandem jumps, AFF and sport skydiving training, and group events. It is a direct peer with a comparable service mix, comparable scale, and a similar mixed German/European customer base.

Regional players

• Skydive Voss: Skydive Voss is a well-known Norwegian dropzone offering tandem skydiving and skydiving training in a different geography. It is comparable in offering (tandem, training, scenic jumps) and addresses a similar European adventure-tourism customer, though it does not directly compete in the German market.
• Skydive Algarve: Skydive Algarve is a leading Portuguese skydiving center known for high-volume tandem operations and scenic coastal jumps. It is comparable in service mix (tandem, training, sport) and serves a similar European adventure-tourism segment, but operates in a different geography.

Others

• Air Service Berlin: Listed as an explicit partner of TAKE OFF Skydiving, Air Service Berlin provides aircraft and aviation services in the Berlin region. It is a supplier/ecosystem participant rather than a direct competitor, supporting the broader Berlin-area skydiving infrastructure.

Broad incumbents

• Skydive Dubai: Skydive Dubai is one of the world's largest and most established skydiving operators, offering tandem jumps, training, and event experiences at scale. While operating in a different geography, it is a broad incumbent in the global skydiving industry and a useful comparable for scale, brand, and operational model.
• iFLY Indoor Skydiving: iFLY is a global indoor skydiving (vertical wind tunnel) franchise. It does not directly compete with traditional outdoor tandem skydiving, but it competes for first-time flyers and group event customers in major European cities and represents a structural adjacent threat to TAKE OFF's tandem and group event business.

Emerging players

• Hurricane Factory Berlin: Listed as an explicit partner of TAKE OFF Skydiving, Hurricane Factory Berlin is an indoor skydiving (vertical wind tunnel) operator in the Berlin market. It serves a partially overlapping customer base seeking skydiving-like experiences and represents both a complementary and adjacent competitive threat to TAKE OFF's tandem skydiving business.
