The contracts have been signed to locate the Regional Tracking Center for Sector 2 in the ancient city of Mary, Turkmenistan.

Regional Tracking Center

Sector 2 covers all of Asia and the Middle East.

Scouts in Flight Command say the selection process was tough this year in Sector 2 due to a variety of factors. Civil unrest, extreme weather conditions and natural disaster recovery all played a part in finding a suitable location.

The city of Mary, which is the capitol in a region of the same name in Turkmenistan, is a fairly large city for a Regional Tracking Center. Mary dates back more than 2500 years in its history.

Due to the city’s size and central location within Asia is was easy to find a location with all the modern amenities needed for a Regional Tracking Center.

It is anticipated that this center will be operational by August 5th.

The test flights of Santa’s sleigh have transitioned to a new phase. As the Regional Tracking Centers are announced elves are in training to begin flight tracking. To do that, they need maps.

That same training also applies to tracker elves. So, effective immediately, live data tracking maps have been made available for trackers worldwide via the Santa Tracker map at SantaTrackers.net.

Logged in elves can now see where the test flights of Santa’s sleigh are in real time. This is an exclusive feature for official elves only and it is not available to the public.

Surprisingly, this year’s sleigh is only on version 2. Test pilots are reporting excellent results with Santa’s new sleigh design this year. There are very few problems and the sleigh project is far ahead of schedule.

We will keep you updated on the progress of Santa’s sleigh.

Sector 4 covers South America, Greenland and most of the Atlantic regional. Today North Pole Flight Command announces that the Regional headquarters for this sector will this year be located in San Nicholas, Aruba. Here is where it is on the map:

Aruba

It is the 2nd tropical location for a regional tracking center so far announced. It is very central to the entire sector and will be ideally suited for coordinating North Pole flight activities come Christmas time.

Elf Supervisor Tubby Ryder, who has already been to the proposed location many times this year, predicts that Sector 4’s tracking center will be up before test flights of Santa’s sleigh can begin flying over the territory. “We’re moving into a very good building that already has the electrical and Internet connections we require and minimal remodel efforts”, Elf Tubby said. “It will be a fast set up.”

Elves are motivated to be there. It is an exceptionally beautiful location:

San Nicolas

“We’re not on the beach itself,” Elf Tubby said, “But we are very close by. We feel this will be an outstanding location for us to be at between now and Christmas. We’re very excited about this year’s location.”

San Nicholas is the 2nd largest city in Aruba and is a very popular tourist destination.

The exactly location of the North Pole facility there is kept confidential for security purposes.

Sector 1 is the broad area of the world known as Oceania. It encompasses the island nations of the deep South Pacific, all of Australia, New Zealand and the countries of the Pacific Rim.

It is the first place where Christmas is celebrated and where Santa visits first each Christmas Eve.

North Pole Flight Command has determined that the Regional Tracking Center for Christmas 2023 will be located in Fiji.

Fiji is a small nation of more than 300 islands and is ideally located for a Regional Tracking Center in Sector 1. Nadi is the largest city but the actual selected location for North Pole operations in Fiji has not been revealed.

The tropical outpost will provide a warm-weather operational center for elves from North Pole Flight Command to direct activities before, during and after Santa’s flight all over Sector 1.

It is expected that the site selected will be operational and staffed by September 1st.
