FlyStation Munich

What FlyStation Munich does

FlyStation Munich is an indoor skydiving (bodyflying) facility operated by PARA Tunnel Technologie GmbH, located in Neufahrn bei Freising near Munich, Germany. Its core asset is a 19-meter-tall vertical recirculating wind tunnel with a 4.5-meter-diameter flight chamber, four axial fans totaling 1,800 kW, and airflow speeds exceeding 300 km/h — the tallest tunnel in Germany and one of the most powerful in the world. The facility opened in 2017, is led by Managing Director Alexander Parmanin, and operates with a small team of examiner-level certified instructors, trainers, and customer service staff.

The company serves three primary customer segments: individual consumers (first-time flyers, gift voucher buyers, families with children aged 4-15, and social groups for celebrations), corporate / B2B clients (team-building events, kick-off meetings, product presentations, and full-facility exclusive hire for groups of 6-100+), and proflyers / skydivers seeking year-round training, AFF preparation, and professional coaching across Dynamic, Freestyle, VFS, FS/RW, and Freefly disciplines. The product portfolio spans tiered adult packages (Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum at €65-€249), kids packages (Colibri/Swallow/Falcon/Eagle at €55-€199), group packages (Family Pack, Party Pack, Kids Birthday at €449-€689), premium all-inclusive gift packages, structured training courses, and corporate venue rentals (meeting/event rooms and full wind tunnel hall at €59-€899/hour).

Revenue is generated primarily through direct-to-consumer e-commerce on shop.flystationmunich.com (one-time transactions for flight packages, training courses, and add-ons) supplemented by a recurring Proflyer Membership subscription (€275/month), corporate event bookings handled by a dedicated team, and walk-in sales. Distribution is regional within Bavaria, supported by Google Ads with remarketing, organic social media, a 4.9/5 Google rating with over 1,000 reviews, and on-site amenities including e-charging stations, free parking, and integrated conference facilities.
