The MAKS International Aviation and Space Salon is canceled in 2026. The corresponding government order is published on the official legal information portal.
The reasons for canceling the forum were not officially determined.
Max is still present in the government’s 2027 action plan.
MAKS is the largest air show held in Russia. Before the war, it was held in Zhukovsky near Moscow every two years. The last time the event was held was in 2021.
In 2023, the authorities announced the postponement of the air show to 2024, and a year later it was postponed for another year. In 2025, the forum was moved again. “There will be no cap. It has been moved to next year. You understand what time it is,” Rostec head Sergei Chemezov said at the time.
