What better to sign off on 2022 than an all-star line-up of the most popular versions from our now iconic franchise? Well vACC Switzerland is bringing its “Staff the Minors” back for a special “Christmas” edition that will feature our members’ favourite airports this Sunday 10th of December from 13:00z to 16:00z! Enjoy some of the best aviation experiences Switzerland has to offer brimming with expert ATC services at LSGG, LSZB, EDNY, LSZR, LSZS and LFSB.

Geneva – LSGG (Charts | Scenery)
Arguably the least “minor” of the selection, Geneva offers a perfect mix between idyllic scenery and high traffic. A popular airport for both IFR and VFR pilots, most types of aircraft are welcome to experience the jewel of the Swiss Romandie. Fly an approach over its iconic lake or depart surrounded by impressive mountain ranges, Geneva really has something for everyone.

Bern – LSZB (Charts | Scenery)
If you’re looking for a little more complexity, Bern is the place to be. While runway 32 is active, prepare yourself for the challenging City or Romeo Circling over the Old Town and make sure to have charts onboard. Only aircraft up to the A320 and the B737 can be handled at LSZB. But who needs an A380 when you can explore the signature Bernese landscape in GA style?

Friedrichshafen – EDNY (Charts | Scenery)
Its proximity to Zurich and aviation history make Friedrichshafen a strong contender for the aviation enthusiast. Its scenic views and impressive facilities have seen both private pilots and airlines flock to its runway, and when you fly over the glistening Lake of Constance, we’re sure you will quickly understand why. Enjoy 4 aprons, a glider strip and a capable runway within a stone's throw of Switzerland’s largest airport.

St. Gallen Altenrhein – LSZR (Charts | Scenery)
What if we combine a short runway with a busy airspace, complex procedures and daunting mountains? Well we get a good challenge for seasoned pilots, and Altenrhein is a worthy candidate. A short hop from Friedrichshafen, Altenrhein is best enjoyed through the windscreen of a GA aircraft or small bizjet. Fly in VFR for an especially memorable flight at the foot of the Alps and enjoy signature Swiss views all along the way.

Samedan – LSZS (Charts | Scenery)
Perhaps the towering majesty of the Swiss Alps are calling you in for a closer look. Amidst the valleys, peaks and sheer drops, you’ll find Samedan, the highest airport in Europe. Don’t be fooled by its long runway and BBJ visitors, an airport nestled among some of Switzerland’s most intimidating terrain presents some key challenges even to the more experienced pilots. Needless to say, plan diligently before tackling its unforgiving land-scape and uniquely complex instrument procedures.

Basel-Mulhouse – LFSB (Charts | Scenery)
Amidst your Alpine journey, do not forget to experience the historic and breath-taking Jura mountains by visiting a truly tri-national city. Basel seamlessly combines an intriguing VFR experience with seasoned IFR capabilities. From twin-aisle commercial jets to small piston aircraft, Basel welcomes them all to appreciate its cultural city centre and unique Jurassic views that are sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.

So come enjoy the holidays and welcome a new year with us this Sunday from 13:00z to 16:00z in Swiss airspace!
