The Jersey International Air display has been cancelled.

The event, which is watched by tens of thousands of islanders every year, was due to take place on Thursday 10 September.

Organisers say, although they had developed measures to reduce the risk, the display cannot go ahead due to the potential spread of coronavirus amongst spectators.

They have announced the decision "with great regret."

Organisers have apologised to those that have made arrangements but say "the decision has been made for the safety of islanders."

The next display is scheduled for Thursday 9 September 2021.
