Pacific Airshow Gold Coast back bigger, faster, louder and bringing business to the beach in 2025

Pacific Airshow Gold Coast is set to return to iconic Surfers Paradise from 15 to 17 August 2025 and it’s promising a striking setting for networking, staff rewards and client engagement.

For those new to this unique spectacle, let's paint the picture. Having successfully run the show in Huntington Beach, California since 2018, Pacific Airshow has made a significant impact on the airshow industry with its innovative approach.

Gone are the days of dusty runways in remote locations and lag times between acts; Pacific Airshow has revolutionised the traditional airshow expectations with a vibrant, fast-paced experience.

Returning for its second year in 2024, over 270,000 people gathered in Surfers Paradise to witness the action above the iconic beach. The Pacific Airshow ticketed precinct, renowned for its electric atmosphere, hosted more than 70,000 spectators, proving itself as the prime location to view the sky-bound spectacle.

But it's not just about the aerial displays; organisers have meticulously crafted a festival-like atmosphere, enhancing ground-level enjoyment wherever possible.

Delivering three adrenaline-fuelled days of aerial displays featuring some of the world’s finest aviators, this event appeals to everyone from ear-muffed toddlers gazing skyward in awe to 100-year-old war veterans. The Pacific Airshow experience promises to be one of the most memorable days you’ll ever have at the beach.

Pacific Airshow director Kevin Elliott has been steadfast in his vision for the event since its inception in Huntington Beach in 2018.

"Our aim has always been to introduce new experiences each year that exceed our audience's expectations, and this year will be no exception," Elliott notes about the Gold Coast event.

A highlight on the Australian event calendar, Pacific Airshow Gold Coast has established itself as a premier corporate hospitality option, offering both shared and private experiences against the backdrop of one of the world’s most famous skylines.

In 2025, event organisers have introduced the Garden Bar, a new introductory experience perfect for those seeking a comfortable shared space with a dedicated bar, beach games and a laid-back atmosphere. Starting at just $225 per person and including three drinks, this option allows for stylish plane-spotting at an affordable price.
