Each year, the second Sunday in September means only one thing above Székesfehérvár: the sky is taken over by jaw-dropping aircraft for the legendary Börgönd Air Show (Börgöndi Repülőnap). Everyone is invited to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Albatrosz Air Parade (Albatrosz Légiparádé), where elite European aerobatics champions and skydivers, along with modern and vintage planes, put on thrilling spectacles for the delight of the crowd.
A Sky Full of Legends
This milestone year brings an even grander atmosphere to Börgönd Airport (Börgöndi Repülőtér) on September 14, with the iconic hangar doors opening once again. Expect mesmerizing formations, roaring engines, and a chance for thrill-seekers to view the “City of Kings” (Székesfehérvár) from a completely new perspective—right from above.
Beyond long-time favorites, there are plenty of new highlights to discover: military airplanes and helicopters, World War II warbirds, powered aerobatics, military and civilian parachutists, and Hungary’s most iconic classic aircraft.
