Abbotsford International Airshow cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic

BY , May 4, 2020 8:22 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

The Abbotsford International Airshow has been cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Airshow society president Jim Reith says they had hoped the spread of virus would be minimized in time for the event in August.

He says the primary goal of the airshow society is to put on an event that is safe for all spectators and participants, and the decision to cancel was necessary for health and safety reasons.

The event attracts thousands of people to watch flight demonstrations from Canadian, American and international participants.
