What makes this event special?
On this evening we try to simulate a normal Sunday evening at Copenhagen. This means pilots flying the exact flights that you find in real life, and (hopefully) arriving on time.
In order to keep track of the traffic-flow you as the pilot must book your flight prior to the event from our event-page. You can book more than one flight, so why not book the return flight while you are at it. Total there are more than 400 flights to choose from! All flight-information is based on up-to-date real-world material. When booking you will get an arrival or departure time (a slot time) so you need to make it on time. Otherwise you will be put back in the queue :-)
Copenhagen + 4 regional airports
This time we have added 4 additional regional airports to the booking system. All are located about half an hour from Copenhagen giving you the option to fly short and hectic flights. The four airports are Billund (EKBI), Århus (EKAH), Aalborg (EKYT) and Bornholm (EKRN). If you have a request for a special flight or an unscheuled flight let us know! We are very open towards flight requests.
Traffic the Danish way!
Have you ever visited Copenhagen Airport on one of your flights? If so, you will be familiar with the tight layout of the airport allowing a very efficient flow of traffic in and out. If you haven't, it's about time! No long taxi routes - you will get your passengers to or from the gate fast and efficiently. For you as a pilot it means that you better be well-prepared when you push, as the taxi time can be very short, even under heavy traffic loads.
We have more than 10 controllers online to guide you to and from Copenhagen. ATC the Danish way is efficient and focused on getting you safe and fast to your destination. As a main hub in Scandinavia certain hours experience many arrivals and others many departures. However we normally execute this traffic without any holdings!
Last years statistics
If you want to know what you can expect, and what we hope to exceed, we have had an average of just around 200 flights at most of the latest events (We host this event 2 times a year). In the busy periods we kept a steady flow of 20-25 arrivals per hour (one every 2:30-3:00 minutes) This throughput was achieved without the need to use the inbound holds available! We hope YOU will help us exceed these levels this year.
