Hello boys and girls!


Cosmonautics Day is very important date for all aviation and space fans - on 12th of April, 1961 Yuri Gagarin started his flight to space, being a first man ever been there.


This year we invite you to celebrate Cosmonautics Day by visiting two airports named after Yuri Gagarin - Saratov (UWSG) and Orenburg (UWOO), and a starting point for your flight will be Moscow Vnukovo Airport (UUWW).


The event will take place on Sunday, 7th of April. Departures will be served by Moscow FIR from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC and arrivals will be served by Samara FIR from 16:00 to 19:00 UTC. As usual, we suggest to get some extra fuel on board (say 1-2 tons to be on a safe side) and be ready for possible delays with start-up and landing including holds for sequence.


See you soon!
