Established 2017
About us
It started with one Facebook page in 2017.
European Airshows has grown into an international community built around original coverage, shared knowledge and a genuine enthusiasm for aviation displays.
Our organisation
Small team.
Wide view.
European Airshows began in October 2017 as a small Facebook page managed entirely by its founder. It grew naturally, one photograph, display and news update at a time. Today, more than 140,000 people follow the page, with aviation enthusiasts from across Europe and beyond joining the community.
The organisation remains entirely volunteer-run and operates on a non-profit basis. The people behind European Airshows give their time because they believe airshows deserve thoughtful coverage: not only the aircraft, but also the crews, organisers, history and atmosphere that make every event different.
Our regular coverage combines photography, video, news and longer-form features from events across Europe. The aim is simple: to share the best of the airshow world clearly, accurately and with the enthusiasm that started the page in the first place.
