  • Authorizations: Airshow Organizers are responsible for attaining any necessary authorization, including Aeronautical, Civil, and Police whenever required. When needed, we may help and give advice. Both airplane and pilots have been certificated to fly aerobatics by the relevant Aviation Authority.
  • Hours: The airshow routine may be performed from sunrise to sunset.
