For the first time in its history, eastern Slovakia will host a major international airshow. On 6–7 September 2025, the Prešov Air Base, home of the Slovak Air Force’s helicopter wing, will stage the debut edition of SIAD 2025, a new open-air aviation festival with free entry for the public.

On 6–7 September 2025, Rivolto Air Base will become the epicentre of European display flying as the Italian Air Force marks the 65th season of its Pattuglia Acrobatica Nazionale, the Frecce Tricolori. Two full show days, open to registered visitors, will mix front-line Italian fast jets, rare historic flyers, and a roll-call of international aerobatic teams seldom seen together at one venue.

The Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT), held annually at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, stands as one of the premier military airshows on the global stage, drawing countless aviation enthusiasts to witness the spectacle of cutting-edge and historic aircraft. As anticipation builds for the 2025 edition, the latest aircraft update has unveiled an extraordinary lineup that promises to elevate this celebrated event to new heights, showcasing a blend of international cooperation and aerial prowess that will captivate attendees across all three days.

This final reveal, dubbed 'Takeoff Thursday' by the RIAT team, has sparked excitement with its announcement of rare appearances and dynamic displays. From the debut of Pakistan’s JF-17 Thunder jets on static display to the return of the Rockwell B-1 Lancer bomber in the skies above Fairford, alongside a series of special flypasts by the Royal Air Force’s most advanced platforms, RIAT 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark occasion in the airshow’s storied history.
