Councillor Brian Connolly, Leader of South Ayrshire Council, said: "Our Chill Out Zone proved to be immensely popular at last year's airshow - so we wanted to offer festival-goers the option to access exclusive areas on both days of the show this year. With direct view of the aerial displays in both of our ticketed zones, you won't miss any of the action - plus you'll have access to some exclusive upgrades."
Councillor Alec Clark, South Ayrshire Council's Depute Leader and Policy Lead for Commercial/Operational Services, said: "The airshow brings a busy and bustling atmosphere to Ayr each September, but we know the crowds aren't for everyone. That's why we're offering the opportunity to upgrade your airshow experience for both the Friday and Saturday aerial displays this year."
Councillor Clark, whose portfolio includes cultural services and tourism continued, "If you're an aviation enthusiast looking for the best view of the displays - make sure to book your tickets for the new Friday Flightline."
Councillor Chris Cullen, South Ayrshire Council's Policy Lead for Leisure and Community Services, said: "The airshow attracts massive crowds to Ayr for both the evening and daytime displays, with visitors travelling from all over the UK and further afield. If you enjoy a more laid-back environment, you can escape the crowds in one of our ticketed areas while still enjoying the atmosphere of the airshow. Tickets are numbered, so book ahead to secure your spot."
