VACC Finland welcomes you to fly and see the original Santa Claus and his home just before the Christmas.
Northern lights and Santa Claus are calling pilots for a journey to the Finnish Lapland. Fly & See Santa is the biggest annual Christmas event in VATSIM skies and is held at three airports in Northern part of Finland. Snowy sceneries and slippery runways are open during the event at Rovaniemi, Kittilä and Ivalo. All of them are famous for beautiful nature, fresh air and almost total silence. During December these airports are popular charter destinations for almost 500 flights from all over Europe.
Welcome to the friendly virtual skies of Finland!
All ATC positions all staffed during the event to provide you smooth operations and professional service.
Rovaniemi will open two ACC sectors to serve incoming traffic to all three airports. Rovaniemi has also approach rada

We have also invited neighbouring ACCs to assist us with the expected heavy traffic. Pilots can expect ATC service whether their flightplan is through Sweden or Baltic states before entering Finnish airspace.
