“Max will not be this year. It is transferred to the next year. You yourself understand what time is now,” Chemezov told reporters.
The event was postponed to 2026.
The propagandists were also reported by sources in the air industry of the Russian Federation. They explained such a decision with “security considerations”, as well as the fact that the projects of the civil aviation industry that could be demonstrated on Max will allegedly be ready only for the next year.
In return, the organizers want to hold a salon in online format.
Max traditionally spent once every two years at the airfield in Zhukovsky. The last time – in 2021. In 2023, the salon was moved to 2024 due to “security reasons” and “potential threats from drones.”
However, in 2024, the organizing company announced plans for the air show in 2025. Then they stated the “lack of doubts” that the MAKS-2025 would be supposedly “one of the most striking events of the decade” by the number of innovations and premiere shows.
