The event’s strategic partner, theSKYLAB, and charity partner, The RAF Benevolent Fund, are also helping to deliver the festival.

“This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the air show, attracting people from all ages to Ayr, delivering economic impact to the area and providing an excellent weekend of entertainment.

“By working with theSKYLAB there will also be a strong core of STEM outreach throughout the event, which is something that Ashleigh Construction is very passionate about. It is the perfect community project for us to support and we look forward to being part of it.”
