Sleigh Airport

Where the magic of Christmas takes off.

Where Santa’s sleighs take off and land
day and night, bringing smiles to children
all over the world.

The story of the Sleigh Airport

The Sleigh Airport is the busiest place at the North Pole. Day and night, Santa and his elves get ready there for the big departures to every home in the world.

Here, the elves carefully inspect every sleigh, check the reindeer, load the presents and coordinate thousands of journeys across the skies. Everything is organised as if by magic, so that every child gets their presents on time.

From the control tower to the hangars and the lit runways, the Sleigh Airport is a unique place where the spirit of Christmas takes flight, every day of the year.

Every take-off carries a little magic.
