The Issue

South Ayrshire Council have chosen to withdraw funding for The Scottish International Airshow 2020 due to be held at Ayr Beach in September.

This is a major international event which each year brings hundreds of thousands of people to Ayr and surrounding areas, with huge incurrent benefits for the local area and local businesses. 
The Air Show organisers had already booked participants to display and a great many people have already booked/paid for accommodation/ transport , etc , which will now leave them out of pocket , as well there will be those who have organised annual leave around the event.

The Scottish International Airshow is the largest annual event in The South Ayrshire Callander, bringing people from all across the nation and from abroad to Ayrshire. To not only lose such an event , but also to lose it so late in the day is unacceptable.

we the petitioners call on South Ayrshire Council to reverse this decision with all due haste and to meet with the organisers to find a solution to the problem of cancellation of the air show.
