The Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) is set to highlight specialised aircraft used for intelligence, surveillance, maritime patrol, search and rescue, surveying and reconnaissance at next year\u2019s show with a theme of \u2018Eyes in the Skies\u2019 being announced.<\/p>\n
Despite there still being over 250 days until next summer\u2019s event, more than 20,000 tickets have been sold as people secure their spot at RAF Fairford ahead of any participating aircraft being revealed with organisers also stating aircraft announcements are set to begin early next year.<\/p>\n
By welcoming 248 aircraft from almost 30 different countries, a sell-out crowd of 168,000 visitors and making a record donation of \u00a32.6m to the event\u2019s parent charity, the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust, this year\u2019s instalment was the most successful in the show\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
Chief Executive Officer at Royal Air Force Charitable Trust Enterprises, Paul Atherton said<\/strong>: \u201cThis year\u2019s show was a huge success and we are thrilled to see people are already booking tickets for next year. \u201cOur event provides a special opportunity for people to see and interact with aircraft of all shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n \u201cNext year\u2019s theme means visitors should be able to get up close and personal with specialist aircraft that usually operate out of sight given the nature of their missions.<\/p>\n \u201cWe look forward to sharing our plans with you in the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n RIAT25 is set to take place from Friday 18th to Sunday 20th July with 2025 also marking 40 years since the world-renowned show made its way to RAF Fairford after being established at North Weald and then taking place at Greenham Common.<\/p>\n In recognition of this, the event also plans to celebrate its history with a presence on the showground looking back at four decades in Gloucestershire.<\/p>\n \u201cRAF Fairford has been our home for the past four decades and in that time, we have seen some incredible aircraft at RIAT,\u201d added Atherton.<\/p>\n \u201cTherefore, it is only right we celebrate it with local people and visitors who have made the event what it is today.\u201d<\/p>\n Tickets for RIAT25 are on sale via www.AirTattoo.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) is set to highlight specialised aircraft used for intelligence, surveillance, maritime patrol, search and rescue, surveying and reconnaissance at next year\u2019s show with a theme of \u2018Eyes in the Skies\u2019 being announced.
