**** Airshow Atlantic Release
It is a sad day.
Air Show Atlantic 2021 scheduled for August 28th and 29th in Debert, Nova Scotia has been cancelled. For the most detailed explanation of all the factors that went into this decision we encourage you to listen Episode 4 of the Air Show Atlantic Podcast where we cover in detail how we arrived at this outcome.

After careful deliberation and months of planning for a drive-in, socially distant style air show, it has been determined that it is in the best interest of the health and safety of all Maritimers to forego the production of the 2021 air show.
An Air Show’s top priority is always the safety of its fans and performers. Even with vaccines in arms and a sense of normal around the corner we cannot make it work. There are elements that we must be certain of to go into production months in advance of the actual Show.
➡️ We lack the critical resources to secure the Aerobatic Safety Box.
➡️ We cannot be sure that we will get performers into the Atlantic Bubble.
➡️ Finally, and most critically, we are not in a financial position to risk our resources on a Show largely dependent on the gate revenues when it is also weather dependent. We want to be around to produce air shows for decades, not just this one. As a not-for-profit, we must err on the side of caution and live to fight another day.
We share in the disappointment of all of our fans who we’d hoped to safely entertain this summer but assure them all of our resolve to continue our mission of fostering the love of aviation that so many share. Air Show Atlantic looks forward to producing again in 2022.
