ACCREDITATION APPROVAL
Accreditation is reserved for working members of the media only. This includes editors, reporters, producers, camera crews, radio broadcasters and still photographers. The Royal International Air Tattoo reserves the right to deny an applicant a media pass if sufficient credentials are not provided. A history of being registered at previous Air Tattoos does not guarantee approval or waive the accreditation requirement. Misconduct or misrepresentation of your position, outlet/publication or staff could prevent you and your entire organisation from attending future Air Tattoos.
The following will not qualify for media accreditation:
- Publishers, general managers, account representatives, sales executives, marketing executives, engineers, public relations representatives, financial analysts etc.
- Price comparison sites, personal website writers, fan sites, designers, editors and creators.
- Editorial or business representatives associated with industry trade groups or associations.
- Anyone whose principal purpose for attending RIAT is, in our judgment, for reasons other than covering the event as working news media.
Up to two representatives per media outlet can apply for accreditation for one of three public days. Accreditation is not transferable. The decision of the organiser is final.
Please email the media registration team with any questions at moc/etcfar//aidemtair.
