Q: What happened to the WASC 2021 and 2022?

Q: How do I register for my WASC participation?
A: Individual as well as group registrations are possible. Just make sure your team decides for one of the options to prevent double registrations. In case of team registration, provide your team captain with your details (such as racer/guest, which competitions you want to be registered for, date of birth, etc.) and you will be taken care of.
Q: How am I eligible to participate in the race competitions?
A: You need to hold a valid airline ID for the company you wish to represent. Furthermore, you need to have been employed for at least six months prior to the registration deadline. For necessary equipment, etc. refer to the official WASC Rulebook 2020.
Note: The respective paragraphs concerning eligibility to participate will be amended, taking account of the Corona pandemic.
Q: When and how do I pay the registration fee?
A: That depends if you register individually or as a group. The easiest way is to pay the registration fee in advance to your team captain who will then transfer the fee for your whole team and receive the WASC credentials at the registration office.
