I am incredibly happy and proud to announce the acquisition of my second airport on the platform! Growing my network from the Amazon jungle (SKLT) all the way to Northern Europe has been a fantastic journey, and I am thrilled to keep contributing to this amazing community by offering great destinations for your flights.
I want to officially welcome you all to EFPO (Pori Airport) in beautiful Finland!
Leaving the tropical weather behind, EFPO offers a stunning and challenging Nordic environment. It is a fully equipped regional hub that provides a very complete operational experience. Whether you are flying regional props or a full A320, you will find plenty of variety:
Complete Procedures: The airport features a wide selection of SIDs, STARs, and various Approach (APP) procedures so you can plan your routes exactly how you like them, depending on the active weather.
ILS Equipped: Don’t worry about those low-visibility Scandinavian winter storms! Full ILS approaches are available to guide you safely down.
Runway: A very comfortable 2,350m (~7,700 ft) asphalt runway, ready for your commercial jets.
Pilot Perks: Just like my other hub, I want to reward the pilots who take the time to fly here. EFPO is operating with a massive 60% Profit Share for Pilots! Come fly, enjoy the challenging weather, and earn great PAX.
Grab your winter gear, set up your MCDU, and come visit Finland! I can’t wait to see your aircraft on the EFPO apron.
To fully test out the airport infrastructure, the ILS precision, and the arrival procedures, I decided to complete two different flights using two of the main simulation platforms. The results were absolutely fantastic!
Here is a quick look at how beautiful Pori looks in each simulator:
Flight 1 (X-Plane 12 - A320neo): Testing the raw flight dynamics and the atmospheric rendering during the approach. The runway handling feels incredible here on the ILS Y RWY 30!
Flight 2 (Microsoft Flight Simulator - A320-200): Showcasing the stunning visual details of the snow-covered European landscape and the airport surroundings on the RNP RWY 12*.*
The SIDs, STARs, and the ILS approach worked flawlessly in both systems. The runway is in perfect condition, clear of ice, and fully ready to receive your commercial jets or heavy metal!
Don’t forget that EFPO is offering a 60% Profit Split for all pilots. Load up your fuel, pick your favorite simulator, and come visit Finland!
Thank you so much for the congratulations and for the great tip! I will definitely go ahead and post it on the new airport announcement board right away to get some more visibility. I really appreciate you stopping by the thread to help out!
Also, I noticed that you were visiting SKLT recently—thank you so much for flying into the Colombian Amazon! I hope you enjoyed that tropical approach.
I look forward to welcoming you at EFPO very soon so you can enjoy the snowy approaches and the 60% profit split too.
I want to share some exciting news: EFPO has just been upgraded to Level 2! I am fully committed to this administration and will keep investing in it so the community has the best possible experience and more missions to fly here in Finland.
And for those who prefer the heat, don’t worry! I’m still working hard every day to keep improving SKLT down in Colombia too.
Thank you all for the incredible support, the forum replies, and the flights. Let’s keep growing together!
Thank you so much for visiting twice! The Nordic landscape is indeed outstanding, and having those full ILS approaches makes it a truly interesting flight.
I’ll be right here waiting to welcome you on the airport whenever you wish to return. Also, thanks to flights like yours, EFPO is now officially Level 2, and I will keep working hard to improve it!
Awesome ma friend Andreu! Safe travels around Europe. I’ll make sure the runway is clear of snow and the ILS is warmed up for your arrival at EFPO. See you on the radar!
