RIAT (The Royal International Airshow) The world’s largest military air show, held annually over the third weekend in July at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, in support of The Royal Air Force Charitable Trust is one of the ‘Do Not Miss’ events of each year, and its right on our doorstep!
Early Bird discount tickets are currently available for this must see event, which for 2025, the theme will see the Cotswolds based airshow celebrate and highlight the vital role aviation plays across domains of aerial surveying, airborne early warning, maritime patrol, search and rescue, reconnaissance, signals intelligence and surveillance.
RAF Fairford will welcome aircraft from around the world which have been modified and adapted for use on these specialised missions, in military and civilian operation for visitors to view.
RIAT is more than just an Airshow, its an event that will overwhelm your senses. From the roar of jet engines ripping through the air to the cheer of the crowdline – it’s an experience like no other, as nations descend on Fairford for a festival of flight.
