As have RIAT

It is with great regret that the Directors of RAF Charitable Trust Enterprises have taken the difficult decision to cancel this summer’s Royal International Air Tattoo, which was due to take place at RAF Fairford, in Gloucestershire on July 16-18.

For the past six months, the team has been working tirelessly to devise a planning framework that would resolve the many complexities involved in staging such a large event, including how to deliver the vital international component of some 30 nations. However, the Board concluded that owing to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 during the crucial build up to, and delivery of, the world’s greatest airshow, there were simply too many risks associated with pressing ahead.

Whilst we understand that this decision will be met with disappointment by our many supporters, we know they recognise the responsibility we have, to all our stakeholders, to stage a safe and successful event.

We hope that taking the decision now will provide clarity to all those involved in the airshow, including our incredible army of volunteers, our loyal ticketholders, our valued suppliers, corporate guests and sponsors as well as the many military air arms from around the world who were hoping to join us in July to celebrate our 50th anniversary. We look forward and are determined to provide opportunities for this important milestone in the Air Tattoo’s history to be celebrated in 2021 including building on the incredible success of last summer’s Virtual Air Tattoo, details of which to follow.

In the meantime, we would like to thank you for your magnificent support, both for the airshow and for our parent charity the RAF Charitable Trust, and we very much look forward to seeing you all at what will be a spectacular Royal International Air Tattoo 2022.

Well the inevitable finally happened and it is such a shame but everyone's health must be priority at times like these.

Disappointed but not at all surprised.

Odds on getting a ticket for next year's show, given the ticket carry-over and the now huge pent-up demand?

I'll be getting a refund that's for sure. Lot of money just sitting there, who knows what will happen - who knows if RIAT will even bounce back :S Probably just as standard a chance to get as usual.

I'm leaving my ticket money in and rolling over, again. Don't fancy chancing super high ticket prices next year.

Roll-overs, Refunds, Donations - We are so disappointed that we have had to make this decision again and are, as always, extremely grateful for your stalwart and loyal support.

The loss of two shows is a tough hit to us and rolling over your tickets to RIAT22 will be of enormous help, as so many of you did last year.

If you purchased tickets for the 2020 Air Tattoo that were rolled over, or for the 2021 Air Tattoo, we will be in touch with you again before 26 February with full instructions on how to roll-over or claim a refund, and the process will be launched alongside that email.

As a charity how can they afford to keep and pay salaried staff for another without any income who will just be sat about ?

Would the trustees not allocate that money to charitable causes ?

Maybe some of the roll over money will go to the organisation? Perhaps a skeleton staff to keep it ticking over?

It's sad news but not unexpected. I'll be rolling over for 2022 because at the end of the day it's money I've already paid out and I'm fortunate to not need the cash back in my pocket.

Fingers crossed for a bumper show in 2022.

Lee.
