\"RIAT<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Organisers of The Royal International Air Tattoo have confirmed tickets for this year\u2019s show are selling at record speed for the third successive year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event, which is held at RAF Fairford, has already sold over 100,000 tickets for this year\u2019s show, putting them ahead of the same time last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last July, 168,000 people descended on the rural airfield for three days of aerobatic displays, interactive tech exhibits and the chance to talk to pilots and their crew, and this year looks to be no different with demand for tickets at an all-time high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Saturday 19th<\/sup> July close to selling out, organisers have recently announced the Italian display team, the Frecce Tricolori will be performing over the Gloucestershire skies this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joining the Frecce are a further three flying displays and three static displays from the Italian Air Force. These join an already extensive list of aircraft from 15 nations confirmed for RIAT, with many more aircraft to be added to the line-up in the coming weeks. <\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head of Air Operations at Royal Air Force Charitable Trust Enterprises, Peter Reoch said<\/strong>: \u201cThe Frecce Tricolori are always a welcome addition to the RIAT flying programme and visitors who joined us in 2022 will know how impressive and energetic their display is to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re grateful to the Italian Air Force for their continued support and look forward to welcoming their aircraft and crew to RAF Fairford later this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In just over three months, RIAT will return and highlight the importance of aviation in intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, search and rescue, and more, under the theme of \u2018Eyes in the Skies\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, the aviation show case has announced the Royal Air Force Red Arrows, a Spanish Navy Harrier as well as a Portuguese Merlin, Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, Danish F-16 and Swedish Black Hawk helicopter displaying for the first time with a number of announcements still to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are looking forward to this summer\u2019s show, we already have some great aircraft confirmed to be taking part and will be adding to the line-up right up until the show later this year,\u201d added Peter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTicket sales have been incredible, at RIAT we know our event is an incredible day out whether you\u2019re an aviation enthusiast, a family with young children or someone who has never been to the event before \u2013 we have something for everyone.
