REVIEW: dubai_airshow_official 2025
Every two years, the Dubai Airshow hosts one of the most extraordinary showcases of aerospace and space technology in the world. Few other events bring together such a combination of nations, companies or organisations to exhibit the latest technology in the exhibition halls, static display and in the air. This year also saw Dubai fulfil its promise of recent editions to host its first flying display appearance by an eVTOL Air Taxi. Sadly, as the five-day show drew to a close, the event was overshadowed by a tragic accident which claimed the life of Indian Air Force Officer Wing Commander Namansh Syal.

AIRSHOW NEWS: Record-breaking air show season for Shuttleworth
Shuttleworth, Bedfordshire visitor attraction and event venue home to some of the world’s oldest airworthy examples of historic aircraft and Regency Swiss Garden, has seen a record increase in air show visitors this year, increasing from over 33,000 in 2025 to over 40,000 in 2026.
Festival of Flight, Shuttleworth’s flagship two-day air show in June, saw substantial growth in visitor numbers. The event featured a range of rare visiting aircraft, including the UK air show debut of the only Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-4 flying in Europe, an example of the front-line fighter flown by the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain, sharing a strong military history with Britain’s Spitfire. The festival also saw more free ground attractions than ever before, with fun fair rides, archery, axe throwing, circus skills workshops, BMX stunt shows, and a land train amongst the entertainment.
Just a month later, in July, Shuttleworth experienced the sell-out success of Summer Air Show, an event featuring a tribute to the 90th anniversary of the first flight of the Spitfire, reflecting the enduring enthusiasm of the British public for the aircraft. The afternoon flying display saw a formation of nine spitfires, as well as dogfight scenario between a Spitfire and a Hispano Buchon.
Marc Boult, Head of Visitor Operations at Shuttleworth, commented: “To have achieved this level of growth in a year speaks volumes about the work we have been putting in to make Shuttleworth air shows a great day out for both aviation enthusiasts and families. We have had some truly exceptional displays and a huge range of visiting aircraft, from aerobatic crowd pleasers to seriously rare aircraft. A growing awareness of what we do here has also been instrumental to this growth, and it is pleasing to see us reach new audiences who are experiencing air shows for the first time. I am keen to thank our teams here for their hard work and dedication, and I am excited to see what we can achieve in 2027.”

REVIEW: @shuttleworthtrust Race Day Air Show
2026 saw the final lap for the Shuttleworth Race Day Air Show. Introduced in 2016, the event showcases Richard Ormande Shuttleworth’s passions for motorsport and aviation. The final edition saw some beautiful autumnal weather, perfect for the large gathering of historic racing cars and bikes plus a very varied, and colourful flying display. Amongst the many highlights was three-ship of potent warbirds to represent the Unlimited racers in the US and a salute to racing and test pilot, Alex Henshaw.

AIRSHOW NEWS: Weymouth Air Festival 2027 plans gather momentum
AIR is inviting local businesses, residents and community organisations to help bring a new air festival to Weymouth in August 2027, as Bournemouth’s Air Festival remains on pause.
AIR believes Weymouth has an opportunity to create its own major aviation and community celebration, bringing spectacular flying displays together with the atmosphere of the town’s much-loved traditional carnival.
The potential benefit to the area is clear. In 2019, Bournemouth Air Festival attracted more than 600,000 visitors and contributed an estimated ÂŁ32 million to the local economy.
Provisionally planned for 18–20 August 2027, AIR Festival 2027 could feature military and civilian flying displays, a music festival on the beach, family entertainment and community activities. Organisers are also exploring the possibility of drone displays and aerial pyrotechnics. Proposed VIP hospitality areas could offer corporate partners a prominent role in the event and help generate income.

REVIEW: IWM Duxford Flying Finale 2026
The Flying Finale brought the IWM Duxford 2026 Flying Season to a close on Saturday 3rd October. Unlike 2025, the weather was benign throughout allowing a full flying display to go ahead. As well as the final displays of the year for the military display teams and several of the warbirds, the airshow featured a display debut and UK first plus first public displays by a couple of new display pilots.

REVIEW: @rafnortholt Night Photoshoot XXXV
The 35th RAF Northolt Night Photoshoot featured an eclectic range of unusual aircraft, mainly from civilian operators. Blessed with a warm autumnal evening, many of the aircraft performed engine runs under the southern hangar complex’s floodlights. The event also featured contributions from the French Air and Space Force and the Royal Canadian Air Force. Funds raised by the Photoshoot support the RAF Northolt Station fund which helps preserve the station’s heritage as well as supporting the personnel based at the Middlesex station.

REVIEW: Le Touquet Air Show 2026
In 2026, Aéroport International Le Touquet – Elizabeth II celebrated its 90th Anniversary. Now focussed on business and general aviation, the airport has strong links with the UK. It is a popular destination for UK based general aviation pilots who often use the airport for passing through customs during onward flights into Europe or a destination for a French Lunch or a longer stay. The 90th Anniversary of the Airport was the major theme for 5th edition of the Le Touquet Airshow which featured several French, Belgian and British based acts.

AIRSHOW NEWS: Airbourne: Eastbourne International Airshow set to soar again in 2027
The UK’s biggest free airshow will be back for a 33rd year after income from sponsorship, donations and commercial sales enabled the 2026 event to meet its cost-neutral target, paving the way for the show’s return.
The announcement follows the success of this year’s show, which saw back-to-back military displays, precision aerobatics, historic warbirds, and a number of debut aerobatic teams filling the skies above the Sussex coast.
Attracting hundreds of thousands of spectators each year, Airbourne provides a huge boost to the local and regional economy, generating millions in visitor spending, raising the profile of the town and supporting the UK staycation market.
However, each year the free event requires considerable financial support from businesses and airshow visitors to offset the cost of flying displays and temporary infrastructure.
Eastbourne Borough Council’s Lead Member for Tourism & Place, Cllr Jenny Williams, said: “Airbourne isn’t just a highlight in Eastbourne’s events calendar, it is the biggest free event of its kind and an important asset for UK tourism. We look forward to bringing our residents and visitors back together once again for an unforgettable celebration of aviation along our iconic seafront.
“Staging a major free event on this scale depends on the commitment of our partners, sponsors, volunteers and supporters. We are enormously grateful for their continued backing and look forward to sharing more details about the 2027 show soon.
“In the meantime, please do get in touch if you can support the 2027 show and help keep it flying for future years. The more donations and sponsorship we generate in advance, the bigger the spectacle we can create in the sky!”

REVIEW: @festaalcel 2026, Salou
Festa al Cel returned in 2025 at a new venue, Salou, just a few kilometres south-west of Tarragona in Spain. The event is part of Salou’s efforts to promote itself as a destination for major events as well as being a popular seaside resort. The second edition in 2026 featured an international cast of civilian and military displays with an evening display on the Saturday and a traditional daytime display on the Sunday.

Flightline UK has received a lot of messages and I have seen a lot of 'chatter' on social media and forums regarding the future of The Royal International Air Tattoo following the recent security incident at RAF Fairford.
All I will say on the matter is please show some respect for the permanent staff at Douglas Bader House that work on the event throughout the year as well as the local residents. The implications of the last year and the ongoing incident must be very unsettling for them without all the ill informed predictions that seem to be swirling about.
I sincerely hope a little normality returns before too long and we can all enjoy the excitement and spectacle of RIAT once more.

REVIEW: 46th International @sanicole.airshow
The International Sanicole Airshow returned for its 46th edition in September 2026. The event faced numerous challenges in the build up to the show and during the two public days, not least some very poor weather on the Sunday of the event. The event marked the 85th anniversary of the Pearl Harbour attack and the 80th Anniversary of the Belgian Air Force. Sanicole also marked the 75th anniversary of 31 Tiger Squadron which shares very close links with the Sanicole organisation.
