It is that time of the year! Sinterklaas is coming. He traditionally arrives in the Netherlands each year in mid-November (the first Saturday after 11 November) by steamboat from Spain. He then parades through the streets on his horse, welcomed by children cheering and singing traditional Sinterklaas songs. His Zwarte Piet assistants throw candy and small, round, gingerbread-like cookies, called either kruidnoten or pepernoten, into the crowd. The event is broadcast live on national television in the Netherlands and Belgium.
After this national arrival, all towns with a dock usually celebrate their own intocht van Sinterklaas (arrival of Sinterklaas). Local arrivals usually take place later on the same Saturday of the national arrival, the next Sunday (the day after he arrives in the Netherlands or Belgium), or one weekend after the national arrival.

Citylink-va has opened a new hub at Liege airport. Liege airport also known under the name of Bierset, is known for its cargo hub of TNT in real life.
Citylink-va, has decided to open up a cargo hub as well. With, on the moment, only 2 planes.
1 Fokker 60 and 1 BAE 146-300QT. With the Fokker 60 we connect Hamburg, Leipzig, Frankfurt-Hahn and Basel-Mulhouse to Liege. The mentioned BAE 146-300QT will be added at a later date.
The Fokker 60, a deritave of the Fokker 50, is in fact the biggest turbo prop plane Citylink-va has in its portfolio.
Citylink-VA is a specialist in the va-world, for Turbo-props.

CityLink Virtual Airlines is an airline based in the Netherlands. We have 2 hubs; 1 in Maastricht (EHBK) and 1 in Rotterdam (EHRD). We’re also planning a new hub… Well, let’s get to the point. We have added the Fokker 50 to our fleet, after that we created new routes for it, and now we’re looking for pilots to fly. Of course we have other planes as well. For example, we also use the Cessna 208B, Twinotter (DHC6-400), Pilatus PC12 and the Beech King Air B200. CityLink always has a freeware alternative, which the Dash 8-q300 instead of the Fokker 50.
