Aero Club of Italy Air Rally
The first national flying rally on Lake Trasimeno
About Air Rally
A Rally Decades in the Making
The Air Rally of the Aero Club of Italy returns in June 2026 at the Leopoldo Eleuteri Airport in Castiglione del Lago, in the province of Perugia, after an absence of over forty years. This is the first national rally promoted by the organization to showcase and celebrate all disciplines of flight, attracting aircraft and crews from all over Italy to the shores of Lake Trasimeno.
All Disciplines of Flight
The program brings together an unusually wide range of aeronautical activities: hot air balloons, glider and aerobatic aircraft displays, historic aircraft in collaboration with the HAG (Historical Aircraft Group), model aircraft and rocketry, and skydiver jumps. There is also space for water aviation: seaplanes from the Aero Club of Como will participate in the event, creating a temporary water runway in front of Castiglione del Lago.
More Than Just a Spectacle
The Air Rally is also a forum for the sector. Three conferences are scheduled: on Friday evening, at Palazzo della Corgna in Castiglione, the focus will be on the development of air tourism, a strategic theme for an area that identifies strongly with aviation. The event thus fosters a dialogue between aerial spectacle, the promotion of flying culture, and the tourism potential of the Trasimeno region.
Air Rally — edition 2026
The inaugural edition of the Air Rally of the Aero Club of Italy will take place from June 19 to 21, 2026, at Eleuteri Airport in Castiglione del Lago. This event, missing for over forty years, brings aircraft and crews from all over Italy to Lake Trasimeno.
Among the highlights: hot air balloons, gliders, and aerobatic aircraft, historic aircraft in collaboration with HAG, model aircraft and rocketry, skydiver jumps, and seaplanes from the Aero Club of Como, creating a temporary water runway in front of the town. Three sector conferences complete the program.
