The AVALON 2021 airshow slated to take place later this year in Australia has been cancelled. The announcement was made by the show organisers AMBDA Foundation Limited, which stated that the cancellation was due to the increased uncertainty created by the impacts of the Delta variant of COVID-19. AMDA Foundation is now embarking on planning and preparation for AVALON 2023 which will be held from February 28 to March 5 2023.
The pandemic had already required the AVALON organising team to work through many past challenges in respect of the 2021 event, including postponement from its original planned dates.
"However, recent developments as a consequence of the COVID-19 Delta strain have highlighted that the environment has become more unpredictable. Delivering such a highly complex, hallmark event in these challenging circumstances would involve risks of uncertainty for attendees, participants, industry and the Australian public. Therefore, in order to minimise uncertainty and disruption to attendees and participants, the difficult decision has been taken now that AVALON 2021 will not go ahead," Ian Honnery, Chief Executive, AMDA Foundation Limited said in an official release.
The AVALON 2021, Australian International Airshow and Aerospace and Defence exposition was slated to be held at Avalon airport in Geelong, Victoria from November 30- December 5.
The AVALON airshow is the most comprehensive aviation, aerospace and defence exposition in the southern hemisphere.
The biennial Australian International Airshow and Aerospace & Defence Exposition at Avalon is a key platform for the development of Australian aerospace and defence industry and for the promotion of civil and defence aviation.
The airshow is staged with major participation from the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and substantial support from the Victorian Government, it is one of the largest events of its kind internationally, attracting exhibitors, participants and visitors from around the world.
