THE Red Arrows are taking to the skies over Jersey for one of the Channel Islands’ biggest aviation events.
The RAF aerobatic outfit will perform above St Aubin’s Bay for the Jersey International Air Display on Thursday, September 10, 2026.
What is the Red Arrows flight path for the Jersey International Air Display?
The free four-hour show brings together modern military aircraft, historic warbirds and display teams, with the Red Arrows set to bring the afternoon to a spectacular close at 4.20pm.
But as of September 8, the team’s detailed transit route and waypoint timings haven’t been published.
Military Airshows lists the Jersey appearance and display time on its 2026 Red Arrows schedule, but currently provides no detailed route information or map.
The RAF says arrival and departure information is sometimes published on its official social media accounts closer to flying time.

How can I watch the Jersey International Air Display?
Anyone unable to make it to St Aubin’s Bay can also follow the action online.
Organisers have confirmed PlanesTV will livestream the 2026 display.
The official stream is expected to go live shortly before 1pm on September 10 and will include commentary from the show.
The Jersey International Air Display dates back to 1952, when it was known as the Battle of Britain Air Display.
In 1997, it was renamed the Jersey International Air Display as organisers increasingly brought in aircraft from overseas.
The Red Arrows are flying seven Hawk T1s for their standard aerobatic displays in 2026, although nine aircraft are still being used for selected national and state flypasts.
This is so the RAF can manage its ageing fleet ahead of the T1’s eventual retirement from the team, which is expected at the end of the 2029 display season.
