On Saturday 2 August 2025, Ireland’s largest annual airshow—the Bray Air Display—once again thrilled crowds with a breathtaking celebration of aviation. Drawing hundreds of thousands of spectators to the Bray Seafront, this year’s event was a standout success — and ASG was proud to play a key role in supporting the safe, professional execution of the flying displays.
As one of Ireland’s leading aviation organisations, ASG worked closely with show organisers, authorities, and display teams to help coordinate the complex logistics behind the scenes. Our involvement underscores our ability to support not only airlines and government agencies — but also major public aviation events where safety, timing, and operational excellence are critical.
This year’s Bray Air Display delivered a world-class programme featuring iconic aircraft, elite display teams, and thrilling aerobatics. Highlights from the 2025 flying line-up included:
Aer Lingus Airbus A321Neo LR: A show-stopping appearance by Ireland’s national carrier and its next-generation narrowbody jet.
AeroSuperBatics Wingwalkers: Daring stunts performed on the wings of vintage biplanes in dramatic formation.

Team Raven: Seven Van’s RV-8 aircraft in tight, precision aerobatics — a crowd favourite.
While the public marvelled at the aerial displays, ASG’s team was on hand in the background, helping to ensure every display took off — and landed — safely and on time and we ensured:
Operational coordination with display pilots and organisers
Advisory support on safety procedures, restricted airspace, and separation
Liaison with authorities, including air traffic, Gardaí, and emergency services
On-site aviation expertise, drawing on our background in both training and real-world operations
With a strong track record of supporting aviation across sectors — from commercial airlines to defence and government clients — ASG is uniquely positioned to provide critical expertise to this high-profile public event.
We thank the event organisers, display pilots, emergency services, and all stakeholders who made Bray Air Display 2025 a success. And to the hundreds of thousands who turned out — thank you for keeping Ireland’s passion for aviation alive.
