FAI Cancels 2022 FAI World Air Games

Overall Future Of The Games Is Uncertain

The Turkish Aeronautical Association (THK), which had been awarded the organization of the 2022 World Air Games, asked the FAI to postpone the Games until 2025 due to the current difficult economic situation in Turkey. Following this request, the FAI Executive Board, after consultation with the Air Sports Commission presidents, made the decision to cancel the 2022 Games rather than postponing them.

The Board further announced that the Federation will undertake an overall review of the FAI World Air Games concept and format before deciding on any future edition of the Games.

"This has not been an easy decision to make. However it has been taken with all interests at heart and with a long-term and strategic view," said FAI president Bob Henderson. "The FAI World Air Games is the flagship event of the Federation and, as such, we must make sure that it be held in optimal conditions. The FAI will take this opportunity to discuss internally the future of the Games taking all FAI stakeholders’ best interests in consideration.

“Since the start, the FAI, including the FAI Office and the Sports Commissions, has been working hard on the preparations for the event with our esteemed Member THK. We are grateful to our Turkish friends and thank them for all their efforts.”

Information about the future FAI World Air Games events will be communicated in due course.
