Soar into Labour Day at the 74th annual Canadian International Air Show 

The Air Show officially announces 2023 performance line-up

The Voice of Canada News: The Canadian International Airshow (CIAS) will once again return to Toronto’s waterfront from September 2-4 during the Labour Day weekend. Don’t miss a weekend of astonishing performances, including a rare double header of two iconic jet teams, the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, and the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, who haven’t been in Toronto for 14 years. 

This year will also mark the final appearance of Gord Price. Despite announcing he would retire after last year’s event, the 81-year-old couldn’t stay grounded and has decided to return for one last show. Gord is known for his performance in the Yak-50, the largest aircraft to fly in the World Aerobatic Championship, where he will demonstrate graceful aerobatics by pushing the aircraft to its limits. 

“The Airshow has become a family tradition for Canadians by bringing exhilarating aviation displays to Toronto’s waterfront for decades, and this year is no different,” said Lori Duthie, Executive Director of the Canadian International Air Show. “We are very excited to officially announce another jam-packed performance schedule, including two of the best jet teams in the world and demonstrations from both the Canadian and U.S. Air Force.” 

Tickets for the exclusive Air Show Zone are on sale now and guarantee the best possible spot to see all the action. Tickets are available in two packages, General Admission and Flight Deck, which provide VIP opportunities.
