The United Kingdom is home to many of Europe's largest and busiest airports as well as the busiest international airport in the world, and there are over 40 airports in the UK alone. After much consultation and months of planning, two of the busiest Area Control Centers in the world, London and Scottish, and eight of the busiest airfields will control together in one of the busiest events in VATSIM's history. Imagine Cross the Pond traffic condensed into 120 minutes. It really is a non-misser....
Fly to/from Bristol (EGGD), Birmingham (EGBB), Edinburgh (EGPH) and Manchester (EGCC), London Gatwick (EGKK), London Heathrow (EGLL), London Stansted (EGSS), and if you fancy the welsh landscape in Visual flight, we have added Cardiff (EGFF).
With over 500 flights arriving and departing, over 200 destinations and over 50 airlines to choose from at one of our 7 choosen airfields. This truly will be a record breaking event. Delays will be in excess of 15 minutes*, DUE to airspace & airfield congestion - please plan your fuel wisely.
We will accept diversions, however please note we will be UNABLE to accept emergency traffic, during the event.
