Get ready to cross the Tasman!
TasmanTakeover brings VATNZ and VATPAC together for eight hours of trans-Tasman flying, connecting Auckland (NZAA) and Christchurch (NZCH) with Sydney (YSSY) and Brisbane (YBBN).
Forget departure waves and rigid schedules. Tasman Takeover takes an open-flight approach, giving pilots the freedom to choose their departure time and destination throughout the event. Whether you're flying across to Australia or heading home to New Zealand, there's a place for you in the skies.
With both divisions working together to provide rostered ATC services, pilots can enjoy coordinated operations across the Tasman, with service availability published ahead of time so you can plan your flight accordingly.
Pick your route, file your flight plan, and join us as we takeover theTasman!
