Welcome to the Royal International Air Tattoo Press & Media area.

The Air Tattoo returns this summer with an unrivalled, value packed programme of thrilling entertainment both in the sky and on the ground that add up to the perfect day out for all the family.

Few airshows can rival the sheer size and excitement of the Royal International Air Tattoo as aircraft and aircrew from around the world descend on RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire for an annual, global celebration of aviation.

With around 250+ aircraft participating, upwards of 138,000 visitors and support from the Royal Air Force and some of the world's leading aerospace companies, the Royal International Air Tattoo is acknowledged as not only the world's largest military airshow but also one of the UK's premier outdoor events for the whole family!

In addition to background material relating to the event and the parent charity the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust, this password protected area will be updated daily during the period 4 – 9 July with all the latest Royal International Air Tattoo press releases and high resolution photographs for your use. Where indicated a photograph may require an image credit and in such cases we would ask that you accommodate this request.

The organisers of the Royal International Air Tattoo would like to point out that there are limited media facilities available at the airshow. However, press tickets, giving recipients access to the public areas of the airfield only, are available at the organiser's discretion. To apply please contact Press Office Admin at
