The 55th edition of the Durban Airshow to be held at Virginia Airport in Durban North on July 16 is “going to be the best ever”, say the organisers.
“The show is coming together very nicely indeed and the Durban Airshow is taking a huge step up with the sponsorship from the city of Durban,” said Ray de Vries, spokesman for the event. “It will be an action-packed one day event.”
“We expect a capacity crowd of more than 15 000 people at the aerodrome to watch what will be the best ever airshow yet. There are more than 45 acts with a plane taking off or landing every 7 minutes. The crowds will experience exactly why Durban is the warmest place to be this winter,” said De Vries.

Included in the line-up will be parachutists, civilian jets, the Silver Falcons, passenger airliners, skydivers and many activities that will take place on the ground involving aircraft.
“We have among others, football supporters being freed from a hijacked bus by the crack SAP task force backed up by the SAP airwing, a mirage speeding across the skies, aerobatic team formations and many other favourites that are guaranteed to keep the crowds enthralled,” said De Vries.
The show will open with a parade and a tribute to the city’s emergency, safety and security services, assisted by major emergency roleplayers.
Gates open at 7am for the general public; the show commences at 9am.
“We strongly recommend that the public purchase tickets before the show as the organisers are expecting a sell-out,” said De Vries.
Tickets for the show are available online.
