NATO Days in Ostrava and Czech Air Force Days are held annually in Ostrava in September. The celebration comprises various associated events, culminating with the weekend show at Ostrava Leos Janacek Airport.

Czech Air Force Days, run upon the decision of the Ministry of Defence, takes place simultaneously with and as a part of NATO Days in Ostrava. The program offers the most advanced air displays, military technologies, police and rescue equipment, and special forces training sessions. Other side events include the summits of the air force chiefs, top-level bilateral meetings, presentations, workshops, conferences, and seminars.

Since the first NATO Day in Ostrava, the airshow has grown tremendously from 10,000 visitors in 2001 to 110,000+ attendees in 2022. Over the years, the event has evolved into Central Europe's largest air, army, and security show, drawing more and more international participants.
