Geneva One-By-One
Looking for the perfect mix of high traffic and a challenging airport? Last Friday night of the month? Put your kids to bed or place them in the right seat and start your engines, as vACC Switzerland hosts a new edition of one of its most popular events at Geneva International Airport (LSGG). Let us prove to you that size is less important than skill; with a single concrete runway, our controllers face the challenge of getting the timing just right in order to clear you to land just seconds after departing traffic’s gear has left the ground. Needless to say, expect late landing clearances. Waiting at the holding point? Get ready to line up behind landing traffic or perform a rolling takeoff, as there is bound to be traffic on short final waiting for that late call from Tower. We are fully staffed and ready to get you in and out safely, one by one. We are up to the challenge, are you? If so, look out for the chain of landing lights on the ILS in Geneva, **every last Friday of the month from 18:00z to 20:00z**.

Expect full staffing, scenic arrivals over Puget Sound, and busy airspace flowing like a mighty river. Whether you’re flying a regional Dash-8 or a heavy from the East Coast, reel in your flight and ride the current into Sea-Tac!

The New York FNO: BaconEggCheese
The English language has truly developed and blossomed over centuries, but one word in particular has stood out: baconeggcheese. Roam the streets of New York City, and you’ll hear locals uttering this prehistoric word to deli clerks all over the city. In fact, the world record for longest word goes to some random dude in Midtown who walked into a deli and said “yeahhowyadoinlemmegetabaconeggcheesesaltpepperketchuponrye.” True story! The bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich is what unites us all, and this year, the New York ARTCC invites you to our table to experience this delicious delicacy embodied as our three major airports. Your bacon is sourced from the Hudson Express in Newark (EWR). Your egg comes from one of 100 Dunkin’ stands in LaGuardia (LGA). And the cheese? Oh, you better believe that’s coming from the one and only, Kennedy (JFK)! Join us for our annual fall FNO, and you too can experience all there is to see, taste, and smell, of our flagship cuisine! But we do have…one more thing! During the FNO, you have the ability to be entered into a chance at winning one of several scenery giveaways!

Geneva One-By-One
Looking for the perfect mix of high traffic and a challenging airport? Last Friday night of the month? Put your kids to bed or place them in the right seat and start your engines, as vACC Switzerland hosts a new edition of one of its most popular events at Geneva International Airport (LSGG). Let us prove to you that size is less important than skill; with a single concrete runway, our controllers face the challenge of getting the timing just right in order to clear you to land just seconds after departing traffic’s gear has left the ground. Needless to say, expect late landing clearances. Waiting at the holding point? Get ready to line up behind landing traffic or perform a rolling takeoff, as there is bound to be traffic on short final waiting for that late call from Tower. We are fully staffed and ready to get you in and out safely, one by one. We are up to the challenge, are you? If so, look out for the chain of landing lights on the ILS in Geneva, **every last Friday of the month from 19:00z to 21:00z**.

Zurich Night
Welcome to the Zurich Night, the weekly online-day of Switzerland's major airport! **Every Tuesday from 19:00z to 21:00z**, expect full staffing, professional and friendly ATC service and plenty of traffic. Enjoy one of total 4 IFR approaches or get yourself a spot as a small VFR aircraft between the big birds. VFR flights are still performed regularly despite the airport's size. This makes flying VFR to/from Zurich extremely interesting, but it's also a huge challenge which requires careful preparation. A lot of small airfields in the vicinity offer numerous possibilities for short VFR hops. Zurich is a unique airport with a lot of operational restrictions due to noise abatement and its challenging layout. We know it by heart and love this airport with all its rough edges. And we are sure you gonna love it as well! Almost every Tuesday we will also staff Geneva (LSGG) and Basel (LFSB) for you with our Trainees. Check out the bookings on vacc.ch. Join our frequencies every Tuesday evening and enjoy!
