IFATC @ Home | New South Wales | Australia



G’day everyone!

Today, or tomorrow for most, is the one & only “IFATC At Home” theme for all IFATC controlling on the expert server!

Overall, this is a stunner of an opportunity for all IFATC across the board to showcase their home airport/s and additionally being able to bring their region to life!

Well, down here in Australia, that’s exactly what we are doing!
We will be focusing tomorrow on bringing the complete New South Wales region to life, through opening every single Sydney airport at once, and additionally opening up Melbourne and Coffs to create an opportunity of some beautiful flights across the state.


So, when will be opening up all these fabulous airports?

Well, due to us Australians usually being one of the only regions awake during region change for IFATC, we will have our operations up & running as soon as the bell rings for Sunday’s schedule to begin. If you’re not sure when that is, the schedule changes each day @ 0600Z. So that’s when we will be there!


Who will be opening what?

Here’s the full rundown on who will be making this operation come to life tomorrow;

Sydney Kingsford Smith - YSSY

" Sydney Airport [YSSY] [SYD] is one of the world’s longest continuously operated commercial airports and is the busiest airport in Australia, handling 42.6 million passengers and 348,904 aircraft movements in 2016–17. It’s also a vital role of Qantas’s flight operations as Sydney is Qantas’s main hub for all flight operations and currently 46 domestic and 43 international destinations are served to Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport" Credit
