About The Royal International Air Tattoo 2025
The World’s Greatest Airshow
The The Royal International Air Tattoo returns this summer from 18 to 20 July 2025 at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire to experience the thrilling sights and sounds of several hundred aircraft of all shapes and sizes, from all eras and countries of the world, gathering for this unique adrenalin-fuelled occasion.
The Air Tattoo will be a full three-day event buzzing with excited visitors. Friday is the preview day with many of the display highlights. The green zone is not open whilst the organisers continue aircraft arrivals and parking of static aircraft.
This year’s ‘Eyes in the Skies’ theme will see the Royal International Air Tattoo celebrate and highlight the vital role aviation plays across domains of aerial surveying, airborne early warning, maritime patrol, search and rescue, reconnaissance, signals intelligence and surveillance. At RAF Fairford we will welcome aircraft from around the world which have been modified and adapted for use on these specialised missions, in military and civilian operation for visitors to view.
The Air Tattoo is staged in support of the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust, a charity set up in 2005 to support the wider RAF family. As well as seeking to develop a spirit of air-mindedness in youngsters, it also aims to promote excellence within the Royal Air Force.
The Royal International Air Tattoo is more than a world-class celebration of aviation. When you attend the show or buy merchandise, you are also directly supporting and inspiring the next generation of aviation enthusiasts.
The Royal Air Force Charitable Trust benefits from the profits of all sales and has supported a diverse range of initiatives totalling millions of pounds – from engineering and flying scholarships to adventurous training grants.
