We’re thrilled to announce that Air Show Atlantic, one of Eastern Canada’s largest and most spectacular aviation events, will land in Saint John next summer.
This two-day event at YSJ in August 2026 will bring thrilling aerial performances, flyovers and static displays to our region, offering a unique experience for aviation enthusiasts and families alike. As the only annual air show east of Montreal, it consistently draws thousands of spectators, hundreds of volunteers and major economic activity.
When the show was hosted in Greenwood, N.S., in 2017, it was estimated to generate $2.1 million in economic impact. We look forward to delivering that kind of benefit to our region while showcasing the airport, attracting new visitors and building community excitement.
Hosting Air Show Atlantic, the largest air show east of Montreal, is a key milestone in YSJ’s growth journey. It reflects our vision to serve as a hub for connection, celebration and regional development.
Stay tuned for more details in the months ahead, including performer announcements, ticketing information and volunteer opportunities.
