SE Asia-NA used to be one of the major scenes for "ultra long-haul" flights. Both Thai airways and Singapore airlines used their A340s for flights to America, but these flights did not last long. However, in recent years, we are seeing a revival of ULH. With the EWR-SIN route resumed, and Qantas’ Project Sunrise, more non-stop flights are becoming reality as new aircraft with longer range are introduced. Ultra Long-haul is truly the culmination of commercial aviation technologies, and a testament to the human might of bringing our world closer together.

With event ATC coverage on both ends, why not step up and join this trend today on VATSIM?

 

Don't have time for the full flight, but still want to join the party? No worries! We have options to help you get underway at (unique and unfrequented) intermediate airports at the time of your choice. Just click here to find the right one for you!

 

Our route offers multiple unique highlights off the beaten path – Canadian High Arctic, Fjords of Greenland, Arctic Archipelagos, Tibetan Plateau - and much more. There are ATCs to keep you busy as well – with ZNY’s event covering North America, VATPRC’s event in northwestern China, and multiple divisions lighting up the skies of southeast Asia – and we are working to get even more onboard. Your mic will surely be busy, while you will be enjoying a visual feast.

What’s even better? We have done all the planning beforehand, so you can simply paste the route and call it a day! Hesitate no more, bring your favorite widebody, and join our weekend adventure!

All pilots are welcomed to join.

We are also offering these updates and flight planning help through our new discord server.

 

We would like to also thank ZNY and VATSEA for organizing the respective events and providing ATC at both ends.
