It’s back! The LAA Rally returns and will be held at Leicester Airport from Friday 30 August to Sunday 1 September 2024. The LAA is working closely with Leicestershire Aero Club to host the event.
The weekend will focus on the fly-in and social elements; provide the opportunity to see a wide range of exhibitors, hear from industry experts in Speakers Corner, get hands-on experience in the Homebuilders marquee; meet the LAA team, purchase LAA merchandise and relax in the Struts & Clubs stand.
The event will be in the traditional exhibition layout which provides for a series of marquees housing the all the LAA activities; indoor exhibitor space and our homebuilders exhibits.. Outside provides the space for larger displays and we will look forward to showcasing manufacturers and distributors of a wide range of the latest aircraft types from across the LAA fleet. The Speakers Corner marquee will host a varied programme of talks throughout the weekend, including an open Q&A session each day with CEO, Simon Tilling.
LAA Members will have free access to the aircraft park. Access available at an additional charge to non-members enabling everyone to get up close to inspect the wide range of aircraft attending the Rally.
