Event Details

IVAO proudly presents the XIX edition of the unforgettable “Crowded Skies” event, taking place on November 28th, 2026. This record-breaking and truly unique event brings the entire IVAO network to life, filling the virtual skies with activity around the world. Throughout the day, dozens of countries will provide extensive ATC coverage for literally thousands of online flights. We expect peak traffic to build up around 18:00 UTC, so make sure you join in and experience the very best that IVAO has to offer! During the day, you can not only take part in the main Crowded Skies XVIII event, but also enjoy various mini-events hosted by different IVAO divisions along the way! We are delighted that our sponsors, Aerosoft, will again donate 1 € to Charity for each simultaneous connection made to our network during the peak hour. What more, during this year edition, an anonymous individual joined this campaign in the amount of 0.25 € for each connection during peak time
