VATSIM UK Live! 2026

On the weekend of 8th and 9th August, VATSIM UK is holding their annual “Live!” event.

From 10am and 10pm on both days we've arranged a venue for you to bring a laptop or desktop along to control and/or fly at the same location as many of your fellow members.

This year we are returning to Aston Business School in Birmingham. Located in the city centre, it is a great central location with major road, rail and air connections.

We intend to focus ATC services at some major and not so major airports during the event. If you’re not able to attend then please fly – everyone will appreciate the traffic – we're sure it will be a great fun for all! This is a unique chance to meet other controllers and pilots, for a weekend of socialising and aviation, as well as work together in close proximity - which will add a new element to your experience.

Places will be open to all VATSIM members, but will be limited in number. Bookings will open soon!
