We are pleased to announce the return of Cross the Pond, this time for a westbound journey, taking off on April 26th, 2025.

Cross The Pond is the largest and longest-running event on VATSIM. Twice a year, aircraft soar between the two sides of the Atlantic Ocean - Westbound in the spring and Eastbound in the autumn. Thousands of pilots light up the virtual skies, and dozens of controllers burn both ends of the candle to provide professional ATC service over the Ocean and the Continents.

Our teams of volunteers are already working in the background for this next edition, so please follow along on Discord (https://ctp.vatsim.net/discord) or the forum thread (https://forum.vatsim.net/t/26th-april-2025-cross-the-pond-westbound-discussion-thread/8090).
