Ottawa, March 12, 2001: The National Capital Air Show Association will not
organize a 2001 event at the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier Ottawa International
Airport due to construction to take place at the airport in June.
"In response to a request from the airport authority, we will not organize
a show this year but will return next year on the September 14th
weekend," said National Capital Air Show Chairman John D. Issenman.
"The second weekend after Labour Day in September will become our permanent
Air Show weekend."
From its humble beginnings at the Carp Airport in 1985, the National Capital Air
Show has grown into a significant Canadian aviation event. It has hosted
hundreds of thousands of visitors and has developed an enviable reputation world
wide for its educational value, stunning performances and aviation firsts.
The National Capital Air Show is a non-profit event sponsored by the National
Capital Air Show Association. Funds from the event are shared by several
community charitable and non-profit organizations in the National Capital
Region.
