Airplaneraces and aerial acrobatics are the highlights of Air Invictus, the show that promises to tear up the skies of Greater Porto just before São João. What does this mean? Between June 19 and 21, the natural amphitheatre on the banks of the River Douro will be taken by storm by various aircraft.
According to a statement sent to Porto Secreto, the first edition of Air Invictus promises a vast program, covering the municipalities of Porto, Vila Nova de Gaia, Matosinhos and Maia. In all, around one million people are expected to attend the air show, which will be divided into 15 different points of interest.

What to expect from Air Invictus?
Greater Porto hasn’t hosted an air event of this magnitude since 2017, with the Red Bull Air Race, so this initiative is generating a lot of anticipation. But what can we expect from the debut of Air Invictus?
To date, eight international pilots competing in the Red Bull have already been confirmed. In addition, the intense program (with free admission and available for consultation online) includes:
- Airplane races
- Acrobatics
- Drones
- Aeromodelling
- Defense industry fair (to be held at Alfândega do Porto)
- Concerts
- Street entertainment and more
Who is promoting this event?
This return of the air show to the Douro is the brainchildof Bravimaginação, but it has strong backing. To ensure that everything runs on wheels (and wings), the event is joining forces with the Ministry of Economy, the Portuguese Air Force and the Porto, Gaia, Matosinhos and Maia City Councils. This mega operation is also joined by entities such as Turismo de Portugal, the University of Porto and Civil Protection, ensuring that the first edition of Air Invictus is an unforgettable landmark in the region.
