Earlier this week Blackpool Council announced that the Airshow that had been planned for 2021 has been cancelled.

It was also announced earlier that both Southport and Sunderland airshows have also cancelled leading many to believe that the red arrows may not be seen in our skies again this year at an air display.

OFFICIAL BLACKPOOL AIR SHOW UPDATE

It is with sadness we share the announcement that the Blackpool Air Show 2021 has been cancelled. Despite the gradual easing of lockdown measures and the progress made on vaccinations, it is felt that there is still too much uncertainty relating to the staging of mass events during the summer months, making it incredibly difficult to plan ahead.
