Scottish International Airshow Information
The Scottish Airshow returned to Ayrshire again in 2014 after a 22-year absence.

After the close of the Leuchars Airshow in 2013, Danny Anderson and Doug Maclean decided to bring the Scottish public a new airshow, based in Ayrshire. The first show, in 2014, attracted 60,000 spectators, who thrilled to the first Ayrshire-based show since 1992.

In 2015, the show grew to 120,000 spectators and in 2016 there was a Friday night flying display including a display by Aerosparx followed by fireworks.

In 2017, the show will run for two days with a full flying display on both Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd September.

For 2018, there was more exciting International participation with a full programme of displays on both the Saturday and Sunday.

The Scottish International Airshow did not take place in 2019 but was expected to return in 2020. The 'DAKS over Prestwick' event took place in May 2019 at Prestwick Airport.

South Ayrshire Council have withdrawn the funding for the Scottish International Airshow in 2020 and it was cancelled. Scotland's National Airshow at East Fortune was also cancelled in 2020 due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

South Ayrshire Council announced that it would be holding an event at Ayr Seafront called 'The International Ayr Show - Festival of Flight' in September 2023. The event kicked off on Friday 8th September until Sunday 10th September 2023 which included an evening air display on the Friday and a full air show on the Saturday.
