The first ever Cobh Air Spectacular has been postponed until August 2021.

The lead-in time for the event, which was originally due to take place this summer, has been lengthened to facilitate a number of international fleets, expanding what promises to be the largest air show ever seen in the history of Cork Harbour.

Organisers said they were bowled over by the level of national and international interest following the launch and, as a result, the event has become much bigger than originally anticipated.

Some of Ireland’s most skilled aerobatic pilots will be taking part, drawing up to 100,000 spectators to vantage points across Cobh and the lower harbour.

The Cobh Air Spectacular has already attracted a fantastic line-up, including dozens of aircraft, such the AeroSuperBatics Wing walkers, The STRIKEMASTERS, Team Raven, Jet Display teams and historical aircrafts, with many more set to be confirmed in the coming months.
