Airlines
An air show is an event at which aviators display their flying
skills and the capabilities of their aircraft to spectators in
aerobatics. Air shows without aerobatic displays, having only
aircraft displayed parked on the ground, are called "static air
shows".
Some air shows are held as a business venture or as a trade event
where aircraft, avionics and other services are promoted to
potential customers. Many air shows are held in support of local,
national or military charities. Military air firms often organise
air shows at military airfields as a public relations exercise to
thank the local community, promote military careers and raise the
profile of the military.
Air show "seasons" vary around the world. Whereas the United
States enjoys a long season that generally runs from March to
November, other areas often have much shorter seasons. The
European season usually starts in late April or Early May and is
usually over by mid October. The Middle East, Australia and New
Zealand hold their events between January and March.
