Confirmed Aircraft
Our aspiration for RIAT 2025 is to deliver an eclectic mix of aircraft on both flying and static display. This aircraft participation list will be updated each Thursday, once written confirmation of aircraft participation has been received from the aircraft operator.
The operational theme for this year’s Air Tattoo is EYES IN THE SKIES, and more information about the theme can be found on our 2025 Themes page.
Want to know which countries have been invited to participate and read a weekly behind the scenes update from the Air Operations Department? View the Aircraft Updates page for more information. Our Frequently Asked Questions page provides further information about aircraft at the Air Tattoo. If you're an aircraft operator who wants more information about bringing your aircraft to be displayed at RIAT25, please visit Aircrew Information webpage.
Please note that all aircraft participation at the Royal International Air Tattoo is, as always, subject to operational commitments, technical issues, crew availability, weather conditions and other factors.
