'With great disappointment the Royal Navy made the difficult decision to cancel their flagship public event'
This year's Royal Navy International Air Day at RNAS Yeovilton has been postponed for a second year in a row.
Last updated 5th Feb 2021
It was due to be held on Saturday July 10.
A spokesperson for the event said: "Due to the ongoing uncertainty with the Covid-19 pandemic and current government policy on large outdoor gatherings, the risks associated with hosting a large-scale international event in July is too significant for all parties involved.
"It is therefore with great disappointment that the Royal Navy has had to make the difficult decision to cancel their flagship public event.
"The annual airshow welcomes over 35,000 visitors from across the UK and aviation enthusiasts from around the world as well as many aircraft from allied nations to participate in the extensive flying and static displays.
"The Royal Navy and AHA Events Ltd would like to take this opportunity to thank them, along with sponsors, exhibitors, service providers, station personnel and the many other stakeholders, for their continued support to the RNIAD and hope to welcome them back in 2022."
