Be
part of the greatest
spotter's event in Europe! |
|
 |
|
This
airport will once again open
its doors (9th edition) to
the aviation enthusiasts
during year 2012. |
|
|
|
Because of the great success
of the previous editions and
of the high request, we have
decided to introduce some
news for the 2012 season: |
|
- |
An additional week end
during the month of May |
|
- |
The possibility for
everybody to participate on
both Saturday and Sunday
tour during the same week
end. |
|
|
So, in 2012 the event will
be scheduled on the next six
days: |
| - |
Saturday May 12th, 2012 |
 |
| - |
Sunday May 13th, 2012 |
| - |
Saturday September 08th,
2012 |
| - |
Sunday September 09th, 2012 |
| - |
Saturday September 22nd,
2012 |
| - |
Sunday September 23rd, 2012 |
|
|
The format of the day will
be the same as last year:
|
|
- |
Meeting not later than
09.15 h, the day will finish
circa 16.30 - 17.00 hrs. |
|
- |
The whole day will be spent
first on the southern side
of the airport in front of
the taxiway going to the
runway (spotting place will
depend on the runway in use
for departures) and then in
the now-famous grass area
close to the Terminal 1
where all departing
aircrafts from Terminal 1
have to pass. |
|
- |
Stops in Cargo area if
possible and needed. |
|
- |
Stops on T1 ramp are not
permitted: in case a special
plane will justify a short
stop, the bus will stop in
the best position and the
doors will be opened to
allow pictures while will be
not possible to step out
from the bus. Where we will
be allowed to stay out of
the bus, we need anyway to
play as a group and respect
the limits that will be
indicated. |
|
- |
Unless a special plane
justify it, there will be no
stop at T2 ramp, being
nowdays this apron used only
by Easyjet. |
|
|
We will have the two buses
available all day, if
someone have to depart
earlier, it will be possible
to go back to the Terminal
at any hour (please let us
know your exigencies at the
beginning of the tour). |
|
A small fee will be
collected during the day to
cover bus expense. |
|
A yellow high visibility
jacket is mandatory for the
ramp tour. You can bring
your own one from home but
it must be yellow (orange or
red are not allowed, because
on the ramp this colour is
used to identify SEA
employees). For whom may
need it, we will have some
yellow jackets (with the
word "Spotter" in the back)
available (10 Euro each). |
|
Lunch not included, we need
to pass security check
before going into the ramp (same
rules as boarding planes)
but water bottles and a "reasonable"
amount of food will be
allowed (+additional water -
if possible - provided on
the bus). |
|
Toilette (but we are not
responsible for their
"status") and automatic
machines for beverages and
coffee will be available
very close to some spotting
point (but I suggest you a
tour to the toilette before
to beginning of the event!). |
|
Car Parking: For whom is
arriving in Malpensa by car,
a free of charge pass for
the employees car park will
be provided starting from
09.0 AM (you will be allowed
to stay there 'till you
would like to stay). The
area is located very close
to Terminal 1, between the
Terminal and the control
tower. Terminal 1 can be
reached by walk in less than
5'. |
|
Hotel in Malpensa area: in
case you need to book an
hotel room in MXP for your
visit, we reached an
agreement with the Holiday
Inn Express located close to
the Terminal area. |
|
If you would like to
participate to one or two of
these glorious days, just
remind that to secure your
"booking" I only need a
clear copy of your passport,
requested by the Police to
grant ramp access for the
day (I already have the
documents of who already
partecipate to previous
years events, they are not
requested to send it again
unless the document has been
changed). |
|
I will accept max 85 guests
per day: first in, first
served; with at least 10/12
places reserved to friends
that will come here for the
first time. |
|
Everybody will be allowed to
participate to both Saturday
and Sunday tour during the
same week-end. |
|
Please remember that the
program of these events
could be modified or even
cancelled any time because
of security reasons. We are
not responsible for this (anyway
it never happened in more
than 10 years experience in
organising these events). |
|
Please do not hesitate to
contact me by return and I
will provide further details. |
