Air & Space Days at the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne

From October 2 to 4, 2026, the Air&Space Days will once again take place at the Swiss Museum of Transport. The Aero-Club of Switzerland will also be there this year.

On October 2, 2001, Swissair was grounded. It’s a date that still resonates with many people today. The Swiss Museum of Transport is exhibiting several artifacts from Swissair’s once-glorious era, such as the Convair Coronado, which can be viewed this weekend. There will also be lectures and film screenings.

The AeCS has set up its booth in the outdoor area, where it will be hosting demonstrations on Saturday and Sunday featuring scale helicopters, aerobatic models, and even a remote-controlled hot-air balloon. On Saturday at 10:45 a.m., two helicopters are expected to land in the courtyard of the Verkehrshaus. Finally, at 2:00 p.m., the Air Force will demonstrate the Super Puma in front of the Lidowiese!

Anyone who hasn't yet seen the AeCS anniversary balloon can catch a glimpse of it later on Saturday afternoon, starting at 5:30 p.m., when our balloon will welcome the steamboat URI, which, like the AeCS, is celebrating its 125th anniversary.

There are still a few seats available for the DS URI's three-hour anniversary cruise on October 3. Book directly online with Lake Lucerne.
