Read moreThe World Air Games, conducted under the rules of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), is the premier international multi-discipline air sports event fielding the world’s top Air Sports athletes.
The FAI World Air Games 2015 had been awarded to the United Arab Emirates and were held in Dubai. This multi-discipline event had been organised by the Emirates Aerosports Federation under the patronage of the Crown Prince of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and took place from 1 to 12 December 2015.
All objectives as expressed during the signature ceremony of the Memorandum of Agreement on 4 June 2014 have been achieved. As Dr. John Grubbström, Past FAI President, and His Excellency Nasser Al Neyadi, President of the Emirates Aerosports Federation expressed their hopes during the press-announcement: " The FAI’s primary goals for this event are to determine “FAI World Air Games Champions”; to showcase air sports to the general public and promote public participation in air sports by attracting new participants to air sports disciplines; to promote FAI events to other sports organisations and create an attractive platform for TV, media and other external stakeholders.
The past editions of the Games took place in Turkey (1997), Spain (2001), Italy (2009) and Dubai, UAE (2015).
The bid-process for future FAI World Air Games is aiming at staging the 5th FAI World Air Games in 2020.
Designed to bridge the gap between the FAI World Air Games, which are held every five years, the Air Games Tour will build on the success of the FAI World Air Games 2015 in Dubai. This series of compact multi-discipline air games around the World will combine key elements of major events to fully engage audiences both locally and around the World. FAI is conducting a comprehensive and interactive process to identify which cities will host the first Air Games Tour events.
FAI President Frits Brink said: “The idea is to initially develop a multi-discipline Air Games Tour, with three to five events a year, leading athletes to the World Air Games every four or five years.”
