Dassault Aviation to Participate in Saint-Jean-de-Luz Air Show

Dassault Aviation is set to participate in the annual Saint-Jean-de-Luz Air Show, scheduled for May 14-17, 2026. This event, now in its third decade, aims to foster connections between the public along the Basque coast and military institutions, particularly the Air and Space Force.

This year's edition sees a shift in timing, moving from its traditional autumn slot to late spring. The show will feature ground exhibits at Place Foch, including flight simulators for the Mirage 2000 and Mirage F1. Static aircraft displays, information on aviation careers, and recruitment opportunities will also be available.

In addition to the technical displays, the cinema Le Sélect will screen "Athos," a film documenting the daily lives of the Patrouille de France aerobatic team. This cinematic offering complements the event's focus on aviation and defense.

The main aerial demonstration is scheduled for Saturday, May 16, and will last for two and a half hours. The display will feature 18 aircraft, including ambassadors of the Air and Space Force such as the Falcon 50, Rafale Marine, and the Patrouille de France's Alpha Jet, alongside an A400M Atlas transport aircraft.
