Altenrhein Airport is holding a multi-day jubilee event and airshow to celebrate its 100th anniversary. The festivities include historical aircraft displays and aerobatic performances by groups such as the Flying Bulls and the Patrouille Suisse.

The Patrouille Suisse appearance is highlighted as a significant event, marking one of the final opportunities to see the team fly F-5 Tiger jets before their scheduled retirement in 2027. 

Founded in 1926 by aviation pioneer Claude Dornier to bypass post-WWI German aircraft production restrictions, the airport has evolved from a testing site and military repair facility into a regional hub for passenger and business aviation. While initial reports indicated lower-than-expected ticket sales of approximately 25,000, the celebration continues through August 30.
