The Red Bull Air Race GmbH regrets to inform that the race in Barcelona, scheduled for 23rd June has been cancelled.

Due to new security conditions implemented by local authorities, the necessary written authorizations required for an event of this scale have not been obtained. The early availability of permissions is a prerequisite for an event the size of the Air Race. To run a professional and safe event it is necessary to comply with the parameters set by the experts.

"The event production was based on the same parameters which worked last year but with just two months left until the planned race, the new security conditions leave us with no other option than to cancel the event. Last year's race in Barcelona attracted over one million spectators and safety is paramount for an event the size and scale of the Red Bull Air Race," said Bernd Loidl, CEO of the Red Bull Air Race Gmbh.
