Bucharest International Air Show – August 2026

Information

Romania will once again host the Bucharest International Air Show (BIAS) at Baneasa airport in Bucharest. The event will take place on 28 and 29 August 2026 and we organise a tour to this nice airshow.

Like many NATO countries, Romania is investing heavily in the future. Examples of this include the best camouflaged F-16s in Europe, the colorful UH-60Ms of the SMURD (Emergency Service), and the recent intention to replace the IAR330 SOCATSs with the EC725. During previous editions of BIAS, the aircraft and helicopters of the Romanian Armed Forces were present in large numbers.

They operate types unique to Romania in both type/variant and colour scheme, such as the An-30, IAR-99 Soim, IAK-52 (Yak-52), IAR316 (Alouette 3) and IAR330 SOCAT (Puma). They also operate the C-27, C-130, EC135 and SA365, among others. Add to that the foreign aircraft visiting the show and the cool photography opportunities and you have all the ingredients for a cool tour.

Our hotel is within walking distance of the show, so you can go straight from your bed, through the bathroom to breakfast, and within a few minutes you can walk among the planes. You can also return whenever you want—complete freedom!

Reports of earlier editions can be found here: 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2024.
