Officials announced Friday that the Royal International Air Tattoo, recognized as among the globe’s premier defense exhibitions, will not proceed as planned due to military activities related to the Iran conflict.
The event had been set for July 17-19 at RAF Fairford, an operational Royal Air Force installation located in England’s southwest region.
“This has not been an easy decision. It follows extensive discussions with the Royal Air Force and the United States Air Force regarding uncertainty over access to RAF Fairford, given the ongoing situation in the Middle East,” RIAT said on its website.
Event organizers indicated they plan to resume the exhibition in 2027.
