Hamburg Weekly – Your Thursday on VATSIM
Every Thursday from 19:30 to 22:00 local time (18:30z–21:00z), it’s time to say “Welcome” or “Farewell” at Hamburg Airport (EDDH)! For this special evening, Hamburg goes all out — with full ATC coverage and a bustling airport environment that’s sure to excite every VATSIM pilot.
Whether you’re arriving from Munich, Frankfurt, or Copenhagen, touching down with a regional jet over the Elbe, or departing southbound on a holiday charter, Hamburg is always busy — and that’s exactly what makes it so appealing. Expect dense traffic, professional ATC, and that signature Hanseatic calm — all while staying sharp and in control.
But Hamburg is more than just an airport — it’s the Gateway to the World. With views of the harbor cranes, the Elbphilharmonie, and the Alster River, the airspace around Hamburg offers plenty of variety — ideal for all types of IFR operations, but also perfect for scenic VFR flights over the city.
So grab your charts, fuel up, and set your course — whether you're heading to Hamburg or launching out into the world. Thursdays are Hamburg days!

Whether you're planning a short regional hop, tackling challenging approaches, flying longer IFR routes, or jumping between cities, the Bremen FIR delivers a varied and engaging experience. It’s a great opportunity to interact with experienced controllers, sharpen your skills, and enjoy realistic, high-traffic scenarios.
FIR Evenings take place every two weeks, typically featuring two back-to-back IFR-focused events, followed by a VFR Special on the third. Then the cycle begins again — giving you a consistent chance to take part in a rich and ever-changing airspace environment.
So take to the skies and explore Northern Germany from above: depart Hamburg with views of the Elbe and the harbor, fly a pattern over Hanover, enjoy scenic approaches into Bremen along the Weser, or head east to the capital, Berlin. And don’t overlook the smaller fields — from the coastline to the inland plains, from the Wadden Sea to the open skies of Brandenburg, the Bremen FIR is ready for you!
