The Lowveld Air Show committee reached a decision to postpone the 2020 Lowveld Air Show during a special meeting held earlier this month.

“Since the 2017 air show, the committee has considered the option of only hosting an air show once every two years. We played with the idea, but continued hosting it each year due to public demand. The 2019 air show was one of our biggest and most successful air shows ever hosted.

“The new approach of a shorter air show and other factors that contributed to it being such a great success, made this an incredibly hard decision to make,” Johan Heine, chairperson of the Lowveld Air Show committee stated. “We understand most of our valued partners, each year, look forward to being part of this very popular Lowveld family event.

“However, the economic downturn, financial pressure, and the significant escalation of air show costs, the wise decision was put into effect now to only host an air show every two years, starting 2021,” Johan continued.

“By hosting it biennial, it will allow all our partners the opportunity for long-term budget planning and possibly bigger and more sponsorships which will enable us to always present an air show at the highest standards everyone has become accustomed to,” Heine said.

Heine added that they are certainly committed and excited to get planning underway for a bigger and better Lowveld Air Show 2021.
