The airshow is expected to attract more than 200,000 attendances in total across the six days. This year, the airshow will limit guest numbers to 200,000 to reduce crowds, creating a better experience for spectators.

The show will also have much more car parking capacity including a second carpark with shuttles to the main entrance. Another way to get to the airshow is public transport, which will be significantly better this year with more frequent trains and shuttles to the show.

Avalon 2025 will feature over 350 aircraft in the air and on the ground, including 45 aerial display aircraft and 64 exhibited by aviation manufacturers. In total, there will be over 900 participating exhibitor organisations from 28 nations.

“Avalon 2025 is all about engagement between industry, defence, the aviation and aerospace community and the general public,” said Justin Giddings, CEO of Avalon Australian International Airshow organiser AMDA Foundation.
