Skylive DTV Airshow 2018 Cancelled

Post by F3 » Tue Oct 31, 2017 12:04 pm

The Northern Echo of 27th. Oct. reported the cancellation of next year's Skylive Airshow @ Durham Tees Valley. Apparently the airport owners Peel Holdings, have activated a get out clause in the 5 yr. contract with Skylive Events to pull the plug on next year's show as they claim that they have been unable to cover the costs of the previous two shows. This will be a blow to aircraft enthusiasts in a region which has long been deprived of airshows, particularly as the inaugural 2016 event was hailed as a great success when it attracted 18,000 people. Apparently the show's organisers are exploring alternative venues and they could probably do worse than consider the new Leeds East Airport formerly RAF Church Fenton in the adjacent County of North Yorks which held a successful airshow in Sept. 2015.
