About this Event
We've been to the beautiful island of Jersey countless times as a club and the island's annual air show, which returns in 2024 on Thursday 12th September, is a great excuse to visit.
Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands, between England and France. An independent, English-speaking territory with a mix of British and French cultures, it’s known for its beautiful beaches, walking trails along cliffs and inland valleys, as well as its history. You'll also find some great places to eat drink and be merry. If you've not visited before you'll love it and want to go time and time again. We plan to pop into Guernsey too... great if you're sharing the flight with another pilot and wanted to collect some new airports in your log book.
The skies above Jersey have enjoyed an annual air display for over sixty years, delighting and attracting many tens of thousands of local residents and visitors to enjoy one of the most eagerly anticipated events in Jersey’s summer programme of activities. Coupled with the fact that it is also arguably one of the finest free air shows in Europe.
First staged in 1952 alongside the air display itself the event also boast two major static displays of aircraft, one at Jersey Airport and the other in Peoples’ Park, St Helier, adjacent to the ‘arena area’ along Victoria Avenue, which for many spectators is the favoured vantage point and also boats a dedicated commentary courtesy of BBC Radio Jersey. In 1997 the event was renamed to become the ‘Jersey International Air Display’, reflecting a move by the organisers to include a number of international aircraft alongside its traditional RAF participants.
