Why
Cyberdrone?
Between alpine peaks, lakefront promenades, and ornate city roofs, the sky in Austria already feels like part of the scenery. It frames Christmas markets, music festivals, summer nights by the Danube, and winter openings in the mountains. A drone show in Austria takes that scenery one step further, turning the night above into a choreographed story in light that belongs to this place and this moment.
From New Year events in Vienna and city festivals in Graz or Linz to high-end weddings in Salzburg, ski resort openings in Tyrol, or brand launches by alpine lakes, drone light shows in Austria give events a new kind of signature scene. Not louder or bigger for its own sake, but more precise, more cinematic, and designed to be seen both from the ground and through the camera lens.
Our fleets can fly above historic squares, riverside stages, hotel rooftops, or open mountain plateaus. With a soft hum and smooth, music-like choreography, the drones fit naturally into urban centers, quiet valleys, spa resorts, and lakeside venues where ambiance, views, and timing matter. They create a shared “look up” moment that connects guests across terraces, balconies, and promenades.
Cyberdrone’s strength is that we don’t just operate shows, we build them, literally. We design and manufacture every drone, develop the control software, and create all animations in-house. That means every formation, every transition, and every glowing contour is engineered and rehearsed specifically for your brief.
In Austria, we collaborate with local partners and producers to ensure each show feels tuned to its setting. Color palettes, pacing, references, and key frames for content capture are all adapted to the venue and audience, whether the mood is classical and restrained, bold and contemporary, or quietly celebratory.
Behind the scenes, our team takes care of the practical side: site checks, safety concepts, coordination with authorities, and on-the-ground logistics from setup to take-off. With up to 18 minutes of flight time, fast animation, and smooth transitions between the patterns, our drones deliver clear, volumetric 3D figures that read beautifully from multiple vantage points and carry on working for you in media, PR, and social campaigns long after the night is over.
In Austria, people are used to landscapes and skylines that stay with them. With Cyberdrone, the sky itself becomes part of that memory.
Working with global leaders
From concept to reality
Have a question?
Here are the answers!
What permits and documents are required to organize a drone show in Austria?
Organizing a drone light show in Austria starts with rules, not drones. The country follows EU (EASA) regulations, and flights are supervised by Austro Control. For a real show with a fleet, you usually need an operational authorization in the specific category: you describe the drones you use, how many, where and how high they will fly, when the show happens, and what it’s for. If the fleet comes from abroad, you also prepare customs and temporary import documents so the equipment doesn’t get stuck at the border.
Beyond aviation, there’s the local layer: depending on the site, permissions may be needed from the municipality, police and fire services, and sometimes heritage or environmental authorities if you’re near historic buildings, lakes, national parks or alpine areas. Typically, the official applicant is the local organiser or venue, while we provide the technical documentation, flight plans, risk analysis and safety concept they need for approvals. Austria also expects solid operator experience, third-party liability insurance and clear on-site safety procedures.
The payoff: once everything is agreed, a drone show fits Austria very well. It adds a modern highlight over cities, lakes and mountains without explosions, smoke or debris — a clean way to create impact in a country that values scenery, order and low disruption.
Why are drone light shows a smarter, safer alternative to fireworks in Austria?
In Austria, drone light shows are often a smarter alternative to fireworks because they’re safer, quieter, cleaner, and far more controllable. They create no fire risk, no debris, and no smoke, which matters in historic city settings, lakeside venues, and alpine nature areas. They’re also community-friendly (minimal noise), fully programmable to the second, and visually customizable with brand or story elements that fireworks simply can’t deliver.
What does the budget of a drone light show in Austria depend on?
The budget of a drone light show is shaped by several key factors. The primary one is the number of drones, which defines scale, brightness, detail, and animation dynamics. The location also plays a role: urban centers, heritage sites, alpine areas, or lakeside venues differ in logistics and permitting complexity. Other contributors include show duration, music synchronization, and whether additional elements like lasers or custom storytelling are included. Finally, permits, safety planning, insurance, and on-site operations are part of the overall cost. Together, these elements form a flexible budget that can be adapted to both intimate events and large public celebrations.
How many drones can be flown at once?
The number depends on airspace restrictions, launch site size, and safety planning. Shows can scale from a few hundred drones to large formations when conditions allow. Our fleet is up tp 7,000 drones.
Is a special launch site required?
Yes. A flat, stable, debris-free area with enough space for safe takeoff, landing, and emergency procedures is mandatory. Temporary platforms can be built if needed.
How can I book a drone light show with Cyberdrone in Austria?
Booking a drone light show in Austria with Cyberdrone is a guided, collaborative process — built around one clear goal: the moment you want to create for your audience. It starts with a short brief: your city (Vienna, Salzburg, Graz, Linz, Innsbruck or a resort/lakeside venue), your event type, your date, and the feeling you want the sky to deliver.
From there, we shape the concept and scale together. A compact fleet can create a strong emotional peak for private celebrations and VIP events, while larger fleets unlock brighter visuals, bigger scenes, smoother transitions, and richer storytelling for festivals, city events, and major brand launches. We’ll recommend the drone count, show duration, and format that best match your venue, objectives, and budget.
Permits and safety planning come next. Austria has clear aviation requirements, especially for night operations and public gatherings. Typically, the local organiser or venue acts as the official applicant, while we provide the technical pack: flight concept, risk assessment, safety procedures, site requirements, and operational documentation needed for coordination with relevant authorities.
While approvals and logistics move forward, our in-house team develops the creative: storyline, custom animation, visual language, and synchronization to your soundtrack or timecode. Every show is tailored to the location and audience — not generic content.
On show day, we arrive with the full system and crew, secure the launch zone, run checks and test flights, coordinate timing with your production team, and execute the performance from take-off to landing.
To book, simply contact us via our website or email with your date, location in Austria, and event goal — and we’ll turn it into a clear plan from first concept to live show.
