Hello all,

we have got an invitation for the VA-Meeting 2013. So let's try to get an aircraft painted in Air-Child colours on the banner of the next year:


Hello Air Child VA!

vACC Switzerland is pleased to announce the one and only original VA-Meeting 2013. April 6th, 2013, we invite you to our major airport Zurich (LSZH) to participate in our biggest event we provide (and perhaps the biggest VA-Event on VATSIM). So put that date in big letters into your calendar.

This yearly event has already tradition since 2007 and we are very happy to offer you a fully staffed airspace this year again. Not only the Swiss controllers will be online, also our neighbours will help us to manage the massive traffic. Additionally we will present you a few partner airports at the time. Together with them all, you can expect full coverage over the heart of Europe.

The challenge for your VA is to bring as many pilots as possible to Zurich this day in order to get an aircraft painted in your airline’s colours on the banner of the following year. All sorts of traffic are warmly welcomed, IFR and VFR, Pistons, Props, Jets and also Helicopters. We will be able to find an appropriate parking for each of you at Switzerland’s busiest airport.

Please notice that all traffic in Zurich need slots during the event (except VFR). Slot reservation will be available in March. The event may be extended if all slots are taken. Stay tuned, more information will follow!

The event team is looking forward to see you at the original VA-Meeting on April, 6th!

...aaaaaand the next one:

Hello AIR-CHILD VIRTUAL AIRLINE

The slot booking system is now available and waiting for you! We offer a lot of slots to/from one of our partner airports. Because the enroute service for these legs is coordinated, we highly recommend you to book one of these slots. But there is also the possibility for other slots to choose your own origin/destination.
Due to the high traffic situation expected, please calculate minimum 45 minutes for a turnaround in Zurich. Otherwise your booking may be rejected by the event staff.

Hi pilots,
I booked a flight from Leeds to Zürich, my departure slot will be from 18:30 to 18:50 UTC and the arrival slot from 20:40 to 21:00 UTC. I expect an arrival at 20:50UTC. And I am expecting a very crowded sky over Switzerland. Maybe I see you there.
Cheers Tom

Debriefing:
It was so crowded over Zürich that I had to make a decision 90min Holding!!! or going to Geneva - I went to Geneva for a fine Fondue Genevoise.
Cheers Tom
