In the Regional Circuit, controllers fully staff two regional airports, providing complete 'gate-to-gate' coverage over this special four-hour event. The focus airports are typically 80-200nm apart, and a high volume of pilots operating in this compressed airspace means the Regional Circuit provides optimal conditions for congested frequencies and busy airways.

Occasionally, BVA will host these events in other facilities. This event is being hosted by the Minneapolis ARTCC (KZMP). They will be providing Air Traffic Control services for this event, allowing our controllers to participate and a change of scenery for an exciting night abroad.
