CopenhagenLive 2026

5 September 202604:00–22:00z

Take to the virtual skies and join hundreds of pilots as Copenhagen comes alive with full ATC coverage.

Once a year, Copenhagen comes to life

Once a year, controllers from the Danish FIR come together in one place for 18 hours of live ATC. Working side by side, we staff Copenhagen and the surrounding Danish airspace from 04:00z until 22:00z.

For pilots, that means a full day of busy frequencies, realistic coordination and traffic flowing in and out of Denmark. No bookings or reserved slots — just come prepared and join us when you’re ready.
