Events / [06/06/2026] Journey to the World Cup
« Last post by Timothy Makarov on May 19, 2026, 12:55:44 AM »


As we prepare for this major sporting event that has been in place since 1930, join us in continuing the legacy by connecting the two major airport hubs of Bogota (SKBO) to Atlanta (KATL). Bring your narrow bodies, wide bodies, and private jets as we transport passengers from South to North America. Enjoy continuous staffing with your Journey to the World Cup by departing SKBO from 1900z to 2200z and planning an arrival time in KATL from 2300z to 0300z. Please note that we can only guarantee staffing if you fly from SKBO to KATL, not the other way around!

See you in the sky!

Airports: SKBO --> KATL
Depart SKBO: 1900z to 2200z

General Discussion / VATSIM USA Assigning Gates
« Last post by Ryan Burke on May 07, 2026, 06:57:32 PM »
I would love to see VATSIM USA copy what VATSIM Europe does and assign gates to arriving aircraft. Sadly, a lot of folks in the US don't know which gates there real world airline uses at airports. Thus, it becomes kind of a mess. In Europe, ATC will assign your gate when you land. I think this could be super helpful and help with the immersion that VATSIM brings us all!

Events / [05/31/2026] VATSIM Elite Wings (ORD-LGA)
« Last post by Dan Michael Bonaga on May 06, 2026, 11:05:58 PM »

Think you’ve got what it takes to handle complex airspace and high-traffic operations? Elite Wings is here to put your skills to the test!

This event is designed for experienced pilots who want a real challenge. We’re talking busy frequencies, complex procedures, and ATC coverage from gate to gate. If you’re used to flying in quieter airspace, get ready—this will be a whole different level.

On 31st May, starting at 1300 UTC, you’ll depart from Chicago O'Hare - KORD and head to New York (LaGuardia) - KLGA, navigating through the famous Park Visual approach and one of the most complex taxiway networks in the United States. This isn’t just a flight—it’s an experience.

To maintain a structured and realistic flow of traffic, slot booking is mandatory. Make sure to reserve your departure time here (https://booking.vatsim.net/) in advance so you can participate.

Bring your A-game, because controllers will expect you to be sharp with procedures and quick with readbacks. If you're ready for a realistic, high-traffic challenge, this is the event for you. The skies are waiting—are you up for it?
