SET TO SOAR
Get ready to be exhilarated as Pacific Airshow takes
flight, transforming the Gold Coast into an aviation
enthusiast’s paradise for three unforgettable days.
Surfers Paradise is gearing up for an event in the
skies above from 18 to 20 August 2023. The highly
anticipated Pacific Airshow Gold Coast promises to
captivate audiences with a breathtaking showcase of
some of the world’s best civilian performers and elite
military aviators.
The event is set to become the Gold Coast’s biggest
drawcard, attracting thousands of tourists to the city
and the extended region of southeast Queensland.
Securing the Pacific Airshow Gold Coast is a major
triumph for the local tourism and business sectors.
This world-class event will inject millions of dollars into
the economy, bringing a surge of visitors to the area.
From its origins in Huntington Beach, California, the
family-friendly Pacific Airshow has gained international
acclaim and is now expanding to become the only
such event that bookends the Pacific Ocean.
With its diverse line-up of performances, the
event appeals to everyone, transcending age and
background. It is an opportunity for the public
to witness the awe-inspiring skills of both civilian
performers and military aviators as they demonstrate
their prowess in a variety of aircraft against the
stunning backdrop of Surfers Paradise beach.
Spectators can expect aerobatic displays and other
aerial feats. The event organisers have ensured worldclass
hospitality with a range of offerings along The
Esplanade and across the Gold Coast, guaranteeing
an unforgettable experience for visitors from all corners
of Australia and beyond.
Furthermore, the timing of the Pacific Airshow
couldn’t be better, as it aligns with the Australian
Defence Force’s recruitment drive announced
in the Defence Strategic Review. This event will
serve as an inspirational platform, attracting a wide
audience including families, students and graduates,
by showcasing the exciting and diverse career
opportunities available in the aerospace industry.
Unlike traditional air shows held in remote locations,
the Pacific Airshow Gold Coast promises an easy and
enjoyable day at the beach. This festival is designed to
cater to everyone, regardless of their level of aviation
knowledge.
To witness the action up close and enjoy premium,
unimpeded views, it is recommended to purchase
a ticket. While the pilots keep their performances
cantered on the show centre box, spectators will have
the chance to see them in action along the entire
coastline, as they spiral skywards and dive in gravitydefying
manoeuvres.
Pacific Airshow is proudly produced by CEO Kevin
Elliott’s company, Code Four. With a track record of
success that has made its sister event, Pacific Airshow
Huntington Beach, an international sensation, Code
Four is dedicated to delivering the same level of fanfare
and professionalism to the Gold Coast audience.
Pacific Airshow Gold Coast has also teamed up
with Experience Oz Local Agent to offer local
accommodation providers the ability to sell tickets
to the event and package up experiences for their
guests. For more information and to secure tickets,
