Pushing the abort button.

The Waterloo Air Show announced late last night it’s being cancelled.

570 News heard rumours of the cancellation yesterday, and tried to get confirmation from council, and the air show but no one would confirm.

The Official Announcement was posted on it’s Facebook page.

It says quote: “It is with great sadness that we have made the decision to cancel the Waterloo Air Show indefinitely. We would like to Thank all of our Sponsors, Partners and most importantly our Volunteer’s for their continued support over the years.”

In a statement to 570 News the producers of the air show Richard Cooper and David White say they told the volunteers last night there is just not enough support for the event in the region.

“Financially we could not make the event self sustaining and after investing heavily in it for 4 years we could not justify continuing accepting the losses.

Just not enough people paying to see the show, not enough sponsors.”

It would have been the 7th year for the Air show.
