GUIDE: What's happening with the 2023 Air Display?

Wednesday 13 September 2023


With hours to go before this year's Air Display, Express has compiled a handy guide of all the details – including the timetable and suggested viewing spots.

The show gets underway at 11:00 on Thursday morning, with the two hour and 15-minute show closing at 13:15 following the Red Arrows display.

Among those due to feature in the display are the Red Arrows, the RAF Falcon Display Team and Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, the Patrouille de France Display Team and a French Air Force A400 Atlas.

Any updates or changes to the schedule will be posted online HERE.

Where can I watch?

The best place to view the show is anywhere along the east coast, with people traditionally flocking to the St Peter Port seafront to watch.

Vantage viewing spots at Candie Gardens, and Jerbourg have limited public parking and CT Plus has diverted Route 81 during the air show due to congestion expected in the Jerbourg area.

Other advised viewing areas include the grassy area along Les Banques, Bulwer Avenue/Richmond Corner and Salerie carpark.

Harbour restrictions

During the air display, boat owners must adhere to a number of restrictions put in place for safety.

During the display itself there will be strict controls over entry or exit from St Peter Port Harbour, marker buoys in key areas throughout the day.

Boat owners are also asked not to head out to sea to watch the display, but if you do you must remain outside of the controlled area - marked with buoys.

The use of drones is also banned for the duration of the air display.
