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. In places a boat cannot reach, Sinterklaas arrives by train, horse, horse-drawn carriage or even a fire truck.

And this year the pilots of CityLink are going to help out. We have arranged flights to and from Santander in Spain, to collect the horses of Sinterklaas, his assistents and of course the many presents Sinterklaas brings with him.

You will find the flight information on the website and we did get our present early this year, a brand new Bae146-300 to perform the flights with.

Dank u Sinterklaasje!

Just to complete it all here is the timetable:
9 flights in total.

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.
