Eastbourne's Airbourne air show cleared for return in 2027

Eastbourne International Airshow—known as Airbourne—is set to return to East Sussex in 2027, with organisers announcing the event is cleared for a comeback. Scheduled for 12 to 15 August 2027, it will mark the air show’s 33rd year. This year’s edition featured military displays, historic warbirds and aerobatic teams performing over a two-mile stretch along the town’s coast. Eastbourne Borough Council councillor Jenny Williams said Airbourne is not just another item on the events calendar, calling it the biggest free event of its kind in the UK and an important asset for tourism. The announcement positions the show back as a major summer draw.
