Hamburg Weekly – Your Thursday on VATSIM Every Thursday from 19:30 to 22:00 local time (17:30z–20:00z), it’s time to say “Welcome” or “Farewell” at Hamburg Airport (EDDH)! For this special evening, Hamburg goes all out — with full ATC coverage and a bustling airport environment that’s sure to excite every VATSIM pilot. Whether you’re arriving from Munich, Frankfurt, or Copenhagen, touching down with a regional jet over the Elbe, or departing southbound on a holiday charter, Hamburg is always busy — and that’s exactly what makes it so appealing. Expect dense traffic, professional ATC, and that signature Hanseatic calm — all while staying sharp and in control. But Hamburg is more than just an airport — it’s the Gateway to the World. With views of the harbor cranes, the Elbphilharmonie, and the Alster River, the airspace around Hamburg offers plenty of variety — ideal for all types of IFR operations, but also perfect for scenic VFR flights over the city. So grab your charts, fuel up, and set your course — whether you're heading to Hamburg or launching out into the world. Thursdays are Hamburg days!
FIR Evening in Bremen Airspace – Starting September 10, 19:30–22:00 Local Time Starting at September 19, we're calling: FIR Evening in the Bremen FIR! Every second Friday From 19:30 to 22:00 local time, many of the key airports across the Bremen FIR will be staffed with live ATC — including major hubs like Bremen, Hanover, Hamburg, and Berlin, along with a variety of smaller regional airfields. Pilots can look forward to a dynamic and immersive airspace, offering realistic flying conditions. Whether you're planning a short regional hop, tackling challenging approaches, flying longer IFR routes, or jumping between cities, the Bremen FIR delivers a varied and engaging experience. It’s a great opportunity to interact with experienced controllers, sharpen your skills, and enjoy realistic, high-traffic scenarios. FIR Evenings take place every two weeks, typically featuring two back-to-back IFR-focused events, followed by a VFR Special on the third. Then the cycle begins again — giving you a consistent chance to take part in a rich and ever-changing airspace environment. So take to the skies and explore Northern Germany from above: depart Hamburg with views of the Elbe and the harbor, fly a pattern over Hanover, enjoy scenic approaches into Bremen along the Weser, or head east to the capital, Berlin. And don’t overlook the smaller fields — from the coastline to the inland plains, from the Wadden Sea to the open skies of Brandenburg, the Bremen FIR is ready for you!
