The Great Yorkshire Airfest originally planned for the 2nd and 3rd July (Saturday and Sunday) have cancelled the Sunday after the tickets have been on sale. Seems unfiortunate to only go with the Saturday as this clashes with Yeovilton Air Day.
They say the "organisers will be contacting all the people who have bought weekend or Sunday tickets to offer a transfer to Saturday tickets or offer a full refund."

Change to schedule and duration of AirFest 2016
We are announcing a change in schedule for the Great Yorkshire AirFest 2016. The festival will now have an extended schedule on Saturday 2 July 2016 but will not take place on Sunday 3 July 2016.
A spokesperson for the Great Yorkshire AirFest said:
“We want to provide the same high quality of air display and ground entertainment for all visitors. Combining the two day’s exciting air and ground entertainment schedules to just one day means all visitors will have the opportunity to see the same high calibre aircraft and experience the same family entertainment and no one will miss out.
“In addition, we took on board feedback and requests from local residents from Church Fenton and the surrounding area to keep disruption to the local community to a minimum. By reducing the duration of the festival to one day, less disruption to the local people will be caused.”
AirFest organisers will be contacting all the people who have bought weekend or Sunday tickets to offer a transfer to Saturday tickets or offer a full refund. The new one-day AirFest promises to offer a fun filled day out for all the family and we expect to see an exciting and thrill-packed event on 2 July.

Yorkshire Airshow cancel Sunday!
Re: Yorkshire Airshow cancel Sunday!
With it being only one day now - they could share the cost of acts with Yeovilton - So not necessarily a bad thing that it clashes.

Cancelled completely now. Organizers say it would be difficult to make the event viable as ticket sales have been slow coupled with the CAA hike in charges have left them with no choice to pull the plug. Lack of any major crowd pullers (Viggen etc excepted) such as Reds, Typhoon is more likely a factor.

Hope it's not a precedent of future events.
