Cross Africa is back!

VATSSA, Maghreb vACC and Egypt vACC invite all pilots to take part in this year’s edition of Cross Africa - Southbound on Saturday, August 5th 2023.

Starting at 0900z, you’ll be able to depart from either Casablanca (GMMN) or Cairo (HECA) on either a quick trip to Accra (DGAA) or Entebbe (HUEN).

But if you’re feeling inspired, you can also take the long haul challenge and fly all the way to Johannesburg (FAOR), with views of the continent, including the Sahara Desert, the Congo Basin, Lake Victoria, and much more to discover!

Expect a full day of ATC coverage across the continent and enjoy the beauty of Africa!
