RIAT organiser announces show’s permanent move to Boscombe Down site

The Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) will permanently relocate from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, marking a significant shift for the annual event. This decision follows the cancellation of the July 2026 RIAT show and was announced on November 4th by the show's organizer. The new location is Boscombe Down site, situated near Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire. Moving forward, the relocation will take effect after the 2026 event concludes its operations. Organisers have confirmed that this permanent move represents a strategic change to ensure the continued success of RIAT.
