Hungary’s Defence Minister Simicskó Calls Off Kecskemét Air Show
- 18 Nov 2015 8:00 AM
Defence Minister István Simicskó decided yesterday to cancel next year’s International Aviation Day at Kecskemét, citing changed security circumstances. “Nothing is more important than defending the country, and we must concentrate on that with all our might,” Simicskó said.
The air force is nevertheless preparing a spectacular show for the 2016 Red Bull Air Race in Budapest.
The Kecskemét air show has not been held since 2013. HVG suggests that there are not enough planes, as the air force has numerous commitments.
