Sep 18, 2026, 00:00Z - Sep 18, 2026, 23:59Z
Event Fields: JFK,EWR,LGA
There is no traffic like in New York, especially on a Friday evening. That’s why we are inviting you to experience the chaos of a Friday evening in the world’s busiest metropolitan airspace! Take your pick: Dodge the heavies and supers departing from John. F Kennedy (JFK), or be sequenced with endless arrivals to Newark Liberty (EWR), or fly the skyline route northbound at LaGuardia (LGA).
Expect full staffing throughout the New York airspace and high-density departures and arrivals. No matter where you're coming from, one thing is confirmed: It’s a Friday night, and everyone’s trying to get home.
Date & Time: Friday, September 18th, 2026, 7:00pm → 11:00pm Eastern (2300z-0300z)
