Please be aware that you will need to allow additional time to travel to RIAT due to the volume of traffic on the roads.
If you are using a Sat Nav to find your way to RIAT, please use postcode GL7 4EG. When you get near to the airshow you will see colour coded AA road signs (details below), at which point you should follow these instead of your Sat Nav.
Details of the routes are shown below. To see Google Maps Traffic for the area, click HERE.
Please be aware that coming by taxi is not an option. Due to the one way systems in operation, there will be no way for a taxi to leave after dropping off in the morning, or to arrive to pick up in the evening.

From the North East (M40/A40) Route
Traffic from the North East should approach via Burford and Lechlade, along the A417 and then through Whelford village into the red pre-paid car park. Traffic on the A420 should avoid approaching Lechlade from the South East.
From the South and South Route
Traffic from the South and South East on the M4 should travel north along the A419(T) (exit M4 at Junction 15) then, after Cricklade, depart left onto the C124 towards Kempsford and into the blue pre-paid car park.
Additional overflow routes also exist to relieve congestion on all the main routes.
Drivers should however be aware that once in the vicinity of RAF Fairford, they will be directed onto the designated Air Tattoo routes as agreed with the Police (see above).
