30 Hours of JFK
The event was so nice, we’re doing it twice! You showed Newark Airport so much love last year during 30 Hours of EWR (over 1,600 operations to be exact!), that the New York ARTCC is excited to present 30 Hours of JFK.
From the arrival pushes to the transatlantic rushes, and everything in between, John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) will be open and staffed for 30 full hours. This is your best chance to simulate realism - and maybe even outpace real-life airport operations! That said, we expect high demand for this event, so in turn, you should expect delays during portions of the event.
Whether you’re flying a long-haul from across the pond, hopping up and down the coast, or just taking your favorite aircraft for a spin around the Bravo, this is your chance to fly into and out of JFK on your own schedule. No rush. No windows to catch. Just 30 hours of uninterrupted service at one of the country’s busiest and most iconic airports.
Date & Time: Tuesday, June 30, 2026 at 12pm to Wednesday, July 1, 2026 at 6pm Eastern (30/1600z to 01/2200z)
