“We regret to announce the cancellation of Atlantic City Airshow 2024 due to a major act withdrawing from the Airshow. This decision was not made lightly, and we understand the disappointment it may cause. We extend our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to all who have supported this event over the past number of years,” the statement released on Wednesday, July 10, 2024, said.
Challenges Faced by the Atlantic City Air Show
The Atlantic City airshow, “A Salute to Those Who Serve,” was nearly canceled earlier this year because of a funding issue. Mayor Marty Small Sr. got involved and the South Jersey Transportation Authority contributed $300,000 to help keep the show alive.
The annual event is always a boon for the region. Last year, the free event generated more than $70 million in revenue for area businesses that profited from the midweek experience that historically draws interest throughout the tri-state area and beyond. The Atlantic City Air Show 2024 was highly anticipated, and the news of its cancellation comes as a significant blow to the community.
