There are one thousand and one destinations you can fly to!

The destinations we are presenting in this guide have received Air Rally pilots and visitors, travelling along, with open arms. Our hosts made a point to share with us their love for their hometown and region and made sure we left with a strong desire to return. These destinations stand out not only for the quality of outstanding receptions organised with great care by the locals but mostly by their genuine interest to develop services and products to accommodate a clientele of pilots and visitors from around the world; an engagement we want to underline by the publication of this online guide.

This guide will address a clientele of pilots: looking to explore new destinations prepared to welcome them.

The guide will provide essential information about the destination, accommodations, restaurant suggestions, tourist attractions, and activities.

Visiting pilots will benefit from discounts and services offered through International Air Rally negotiated agreements. The guide will identify the locations offering:
-Fuel discounts
