AVALON Australian International Airshow 2025, Melbourne

The greatest achievements of modern military aviation—world's pride and menace at the same time

Dates: March 25–30, 2025

Said to be the largest aviation event in the southern hemisphere, the Australian International Airshow features the world's most powerful military aircraft, from swarms of attack helicopters to giant leviathans, jet fighters, and bombers.

Event Highlights

The main stars of the show are the Royal Australian Air Force, the United States Air Force, and the United States Navy, but participants are not limited to these only. Other famous performers were the Royal Air Force, the Republic of Singapore Air Force, the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, and others. It is traditionally held at Avalon Airport, in the middle between Melbourne and Geelong, Victoria.

When pilots view their performances as something close to a daily routine, an average visitor may be carried away by the power of the aircraft, complicated avian stunts, roar, and walls of fire that accompany the action. If you're looking for thrills and astonishment, you'll get what you want.

Activities

Along with the aviation of the future, you'll also be able to take a look back on the Second World War through a range of reenactments, as well as the exhibition of the most comprehensive military aircraft of those times.
