The skies of Motril will roar this Sunday with the XX edition of its International Air Show, an event honoring helicopters and expecting to draw over 200,000 people.

The traditional International Air Show of Motril, marking the start of the high season on the Granada coast, celebrates its twentieth edition this Sunday, June 21st. After more than two decades of uninterrupted history, only paused by the pandemic, the event promises a top-tier aerial spectacle.
The exhibition will feature international aircraft such as Germany's 'Tornado' and the United States' 'Seahawk', participating for the first time. Additionally, military helicopters from various units of the Spanish Army will be presented, alongside public service aircraft from the Guardia Civil, National Police, Salvamento Marítimo, and Infoca. A special attraction will be the display of historic aircraft, including the emblematic Saeta, closely linked to the city's history.
The festival, internationally known as Motril Airshow, is the event that draws the largest crowds on the coast of Granada, expecting to match or exceed last year's 200,000 attendees. Its economic impact is estimated at two million euros, with hotels, restaurants, and campsites having full bookings.

"The best aeronautical festival held in all of Spain is in Motril."

Luisa García Chamorro · Mayor of Motril
The mayor, Luisa García Chamorro, highlighted the festival's evolution from its beginnings in 2005 with three helicopters and 500 attendees, to becoming an essential event and a key tourist promotion for the Costa Tropical.
José Miguel Pérez Juárez, the event organizer, emphasized this edition's lineup, which will include everything from ultralights to fighter jets, with a special focus on helicopters in homage to the first edition. The participation of the US Navy and the German Demo Team of the Tornado Wing 51 are among the notable new additions.
The security operation, coordinated by the City Council, will involve the Local Police, Guardia Civil, Firefighters, and National Police. New parking areas have been established, and the use of public transport is recommended to facilitate access and prevent traffic jams.
Attendees are reminded that drone flights will be strictly prohibited due to restricted air traffic during the exhibition.
