Santa has lodged his flight plan!
Airservices has allocated Santa the call sign of ‘SLEIGH RIDER ONE’ and has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) to warn all other aircraft flying on Christmas Eve to keep clear of Santa as he delivers presents to all the boys and girls.

Re: Airservices tracks Santa
If Santa starts at the International Date Line and works his way west, that would give him 24 hours plus say an extra 6 hours of darkness (he can't really deliver much before midnight) to circumnavigate the globe.
That means he will be flying solo, with no co-pilot, for roughly 30 continuous hours without a break (loading and unloading obviously doesn't count toward down-time)...
It's a wonder his commercial licence hasn't been revoked already!
Happy Holidays!
