Manston International Airshow 2026 Cancelled
From the Manston International Airshow website:
To all our supporters,
It is with sadness and frustration we have to announce that despite everything that the entire team has put into planning the Manston International Airshow over the last 24 months we have had to take the decision to call time on the 2026 event.
Ultimately, despite the work from the team at R5, our flying display director and committee, who have been doing everything in their power to engage with the Civil Aviation Authority and resolve the airspace issues, it has become clear that the variations to the guidance for running a safe event that have been imposed cannot be resolved without clear answers that until now have not been forthcoming.
With all this in mind, we turn our attention to anyone who has held their tickets over to this year. Alongside our ticketing team at Ticketflex we will be working to automatically reimburse everyone by the end of May 2026.
We would like to thank everyone who has played their part in the planning and support of the event and look forward to updating everyone with developments as we work to introduce new plans for the airshow in 2027.
Sincerely
Manston International Airshow.
