The Classic Flyers biannual airshow will be back next year with two shows instead of one despite the recent fatal crash of a Hawker Hunter during a display in the United Kingdom.
Organisers are confident of the Tauranga event's safety.
A vintage Hawker Hunter jet crashed into traffic on the busy A27 killing 11 people on August 23. The crash prompted the country's Civil Aviation Authority to ban vintage jets from carrying out high-energy aerobatics over land.
David Love, Classic Flyers chairman of the board of management, said safety was always the aviation museum's first concern. A detailed safety plan was drawn up before every show and display lines were put in place for the aircrafts' flying space so they never flew directly over the public, he said.
The safety plan always had to go through the Civil Aviation Authority with the licence application for the show. New Zealand had a "superb" record for safety in air shows, he said.
