Come join the Dutch VACC and VATCAN to celebrate Tulips to Toronto, a trans-Atlantic long-haul party! On Saturday January 25th, between 11:00 and 14:00 UTC, they will have Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (EHAM) staffed to the gills to accommodate your departure to Toronto Pearson (CYYZ), where VATCAN will provide a full crew to sequence you on final. All along the route they will staff the en-route facilities to supply you with everything you’d expect from a long-haul flight. So bring your favourite long haul aircraft, your business jet, or whatever you want, and join us for 7+ hours of packed airspace and professional air traffic control.

This event serves as a fantastic time to brush up on your Atlantic crossing skills and prepare for the bi-annual Cross the Pond. They hope you’ll join us on the 25th for this event, and look forward to seeing many of you there!
