A calendar that returns each season

# World air shows: a month-by-month calendarWorld air shows: a month-by-month calendar

Major aviation events do not disappear when the season ends. They return every year or every other year, to a familiar city and month, with a new programme.

How the calendar works

## One address, many seasons

The event’s name and location usually stay the same, while dates, participants and the programme are updated for each edition. Each event therefore keeps a permanent name and address.

The month shown on each card indicates its usual season. Check the exact dates and admission conditions before travelling: organisers may change the schedule.
