Kleeschen (Santa Claus) lands at Aérosport

You are cordially invited to join us for the festive arrival at our clubhouse AéroSport on December 4th at 11am the arrival of Kleeschen.

Arrival of Kleeschen (Sinterklaas) in a Cessna. Party time for children

Kleeschen (Zinniklos) or Sint-Nicolaas is a mythical figure with legendary, historical and folkloric origins based on Saint Nicholas. 

Kleeschen is celebrated annually with the giving of gifts on 5 December, the night before Saint Nicholas Day in the Northern Netherlands and on the morning of 6 December, Saint Nicholas Day itself, in the (Roman Catholic) southern provinces, Belgium, Luxembourg and Northern France (French Flanders, Lorraine and Artois). 

Zinniklos is an elderly, stately and serious man with white hair and a long, full beard. He wears a long red cape or chasuble over a traditional white bishop's alb and sometimes red stola, dons a red mitre and ruby ring, and holds a gold-coloured crosier, a long ceremonial shepherd's staff with a fancy curled top. He traditionally rides a white horse.

Please inform our office at info@aerosport.lu (Niki & Karin) if you're attending the event with your children. There are some details about the orders for Kleeschen you need to settle in advance with them. Please email them asap

if you are flying to France

The french authorities informed us that following a change of pricing, the number of calls to 0810 IFR VFR increased dramatically.

To return to the cost of a standard communication, a new number will replace 0810 IFR VFR as from 10 November 2016.

This new number is: +33 (0)1 56 301 301

This number allows you to:

- Add, edit, or obtain any information relating to a flight plan.

- Obtain aeronautical information.

- Close a flight plan (1).

- Obtain information about Very Low Altitude Defense (RTBA) network activity.

The principle of this number is to automatically route the call to the appropriate party.

(1) The implementation of this procedure does not affect the existing rules on the closure of flight plans. It is recalled that in order to avoid serious disruption in the operation of air traffic organizations and considerable expense arising from the execution of unnecessary search operations, all flight plans must be ended.

The dial +33 (0)1 56 301 301 aims to facilitate the closing of a flight plan on arrival, when closure could not be carried out on the frequency of the appropriate air traffic organization.
