Birmingham Airport will be fully staffed from 1000z - 1900z on both days, from Birmingham Delivery right up to London Control.

Saturday 16th of June will see EGBB host a Real-Ops event. All the real world flights into and out of EGBB between 1000z-1900z on a recent Saturday can be booked. A diverse range of flights are available to book, from short hops to Scotland, Northern Ireland and Eire, to the slightly longer Charter flights to popular holiday destinations. Please click here to view and book flights.

The next day, on Sunday 17th of June, EGBB will host a 'Not-so-Real-Ops event! What's Not-so-Real I hear you ask? Well, the flights did happen, the callsigns are real and the off-blocks times are correct, it's just that the flights, real world, flew into and out of a different airport! (Gatwick to be precise!) An interesting way to spice things up and a way of seeing different aircraft types and routes at Birmingham. Please click here to view and book flights.

All pilots are cordially invited to take part. You'll see there's hundreds of flights to choose from. Please help us celebrate the 6th anniversary of this fantastic event by flying in and out of Birmingham - the skies are guaranteed to be busy around EGBB on the 16th and 17th of June!

If you can't find a route you'd like to fly, then non-event traffic is also more than welcome. Similarly, if you don't have the aircraft type for your booking, you can fly your route in any aircraft you like.
