Space-A Scout › Routes › NAS Sigonella to NS Norfolk
In the year ending October 2026, 51 Space-A flights went from NAS Sigonella to NS Norfolk. That is about once a week, and roughly 7 percent of NAS Sigonella's recorded departures. On the 15 of those where the terminal reported who made the cut, Category VI travelers, the retirees and veterans at the back of the line, got a seat 87 percent of the time.
By raw volume, September and May saw the most departures on this route in the year ending October 2026, and December the fewest. The route was active in 14 of the 14 months on record.
Category VI is the last group called at roll call. On this route, 87 percent of the 15 reported flights still had room by the time Cat VI was called. Not a sure thing, but far from hopeless, and picking your month improves it.
The lowest category that made each reported flight, in the year ending October 2026:
| Category V | 2 flights |
| Category VI | 13 flights |
Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 50 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 2 seats and 1 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 1 Space-A seats empty. That is tight. This route fills, and being early in the sign-up order matters more here than the category rate alone suggests.
A schedule on the 72-hour board is a plan, not a promise, and on this route the record says how much of a plan. Of the 29 flights posted to NAS Sigonella's board for NS Norfolk in the last 120 days, 12 (41 percent) disappeared from the board more than twelve hours before they were due to fly, 11 (38 percent) changed their roll-call time after first posting, and 0 (0 percent) changed their seat count. That is a volatile route. Set a watch and check the morning of.
