Sunderland Airshow cancelled for 2021

The Sunderland Airshow, due to take place later this summer on Wearside, has been cancelled.

In response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Sunderland City Council has confirmed the cancellation of this year’s Sunderland Airshow.

Fiona Brown, Executive Director of Neighbourhoods, said: "Following careful consideration, we have taken the decision to cancel Sunderland Airshow this year.

"We understand that this news will be disappointing, not only for visitors but for everyone who works to make Sunderland Airshow a success. The safety and wellbeing of our residents and visitors is paramount and we must continue to do everything we can to support the coronavirus recovery in the city.

"We look forward to welcoming everyone back to our award winning seafront in 2022."
