IF48 is taking place this week-end

“Expect busy airspaces and a weekend packed with traffic across some of the region’s busiest gateways.” This is how Dan teased us about the next IF48 series event, set to take place in South Asia - including India and the tropical islands of the Maldives. As the IF staff team launches the 9th edition of this series, we thought it would be a good idea to give you some additional information !

First and foremost, IF48 is a series of events taking place the last week-end of each month, and featuring airports to bring traffic to life. During these two days, the IF servers usually experience a growth in number of pilots connected, and the featured region turns airports commonly forgotten by users into major hubs. IFATC ensures full coverage of the region, and we often see higher traffic rates than in the real world !

The first edition took place across the Atlantic, featuring major hubs such as EGLL, LFPG and KJFK, but following ones have focused on less known airports. An edition even gave general aviation a focus, which was unexpected but particularly welcomed by the community.

Back to the 9th edition, named “Southern Connexions”. Featured airports are Male (VRMM), Mumbai (VALL), Bengaluru (VOBL) and Chennai (VOMM). All officials group flight details are included in the pinned IFC post. At the time your fellow journalist is writing these lines, the next edition poll winner seems to be Africa, though it will be a tight race with South America. You can be assured we will give you more details about this !
