About Us
The Abbotsford International Airshow is an aviation festival that has grown well beyond its borders over the past 5 decades. With a role from very early on as a significant stop on the 'Airshow Circuit,' Abbotsford has distinguished itself as an event focussed on aviation excellence, aerospace advancement and community participation.
The Abbotsford International Airshow Society (AIAS) is the non-profit society that has operated in British Columbia, Canada since 1966, created as a distinct entity in preparation for the 1967 Canada Centennial Airshow.
The keystone annual event-- The Abbotsford International Airshow, is organised by the Board of Directors, a Core Staff and the annual participation of 1000+ Volunteers.
