Jan 9th: Bern14 Full House

Exactly two years ago, VACC-SAG's "Airport of the Week" took place in
Berne-Belp. It was busy - on the last day of the event there were not less than 39 aircraft arriving or departing. One year ago, the number was almost doubled -> 75 flights!

Because of these positive experiences, we decided to launch BERN14. The 14 is a play of words, on one hand there is runway 14 in Bern and on the other hand the online day took please every 14th day. Unfortunately, during this time, Berne didn't become widely accepted, either by Pilots or Controllers. And as Swiss FIR doesn't have too many controllers, we decided to stop the online day in Berne. However, before we let the event "die", BERN14 will come to you as a special!

The last BERN14 takes place almost one and two years after the biggest successes and is named BERN14 FULLHOUSE. The "Fullhouse" is a request to you pilots to come so that we can break our record of 75 flights :) Make sure you are familiar with holding procedures!
