Cross the Pond Eastbound is Back and Airport Voting is Open!

[Cameron Peterson]

 

VATSIM is pleased to announce the return of another Cross the Pond, this time following the fun eastbound on April 25th, 2026.

Cross The Pond is the largest and longest-running event on VATSIM (over 20 years). The event takes place annually, flying between the two sides of the Atlantic Ocean - alternating between Westbound and Eastbound every year. Hundreds of pilots light up the virtual skies, and dozens of controllers burn both ends of the candle to provide professional ATC service over the Ocean and the Continents.

Pilot Expression of Interest is currently open for those who wish to attempt to acquire a slot for this years event. Confirm your expression here!

Additionally, airport voting is open.  We here at ZBW would appreciate your "1st Americas Airport" vote to help us be selected to participate! A full list of Americas and Europe/Africa airports can be found here.

More details about the event are available at Cross The Pond 2026 - Eastbound - Community / Events - VATSIM Forum!
