2024 is go, but will be scaled back
This year's Jersey International Air Display scheduled to take place on Thursday 12th September has been saved by the generosity of Islanders, and businesses who have come forward in the last four weeks to help fund the event. We are eternally grateful for their support and can state categorically that this year's air display would not be taking place without it.
The £30,700 donated to our Race Nation giving page was absolutely amazing and when added to the corporate and private sponsorship we have received, (some as late as Monday morning) means that we now have sufficient funds to put on the flying display although we will still have to make some cuts to what we were planning for this year's event.
Event Organiser Mike Higgins added that "We always believed that the air display was part of Jersey's DNA and the well wishes and financial support we have received proves how much it is loved and valued by Islanders."

• Equipe de Voltige de l'Armee de l'Air (French Air Force Extra 330)
