SoloTurk to make historic Baltic debut at International Airshow 2025 in Latvia

Aviation enthusiasts across the Baltic States are gearing up for a historic event as SoloTurk, the Turkish Air Force’s F-16 solo demonstration team, is set to perform at the Baltic International Airshow 2025.

This marks the first time SoloTurk will appear in the Baltic region, a highly anticipated debut that promises to make this year’s airshow a landmark event for the aviation community.

The Baltic International Airshow 2025, scheduled for July 5-6, will be held at a new venue at Spilve Airport in Riga, Latvia.

This change in location reflects the airshow’s growing scale and ambition. Historically held at Liepaja International Airport, the airshow has been a staple in the Baltic region’s aviation calendar, drawing crowds eager to see cutting-edge aircraft and world-class aerobatics.

SoloTurk’s debut performance

SoloTurk’s participation in the 2025 airshow is generating considerable excitement. Known for their breathtaking aerial maneuvers, SoloTurk’s performance will be a highlight of the event, bringing their renowned F-16 Fighting Falcon to the skies over Latvia for the first time.

The team is celebrated globally for its high-performance displays that showcase the skill and precision of Turkish pilots, and their debut in the Baltic will undoubtedly elevate the airshow’s status on the international stage.

The team’s presence is particularly significant as it also reflects the growing diplomatic and cultural ties between Türkiye and the Baltic nations.

SoloTurk’s participation also underscores the increasing international appeal of the Baltic International Airshow, which continues to attract top-tier talent and cutting-edge aircraft from around the world.

The organizers of the Baltic International Airshow released a recent statement, and shared their enthusiasm: “Something out of the blue! One of the world’s most popular fighter solo demo teams, SoloTurk from the Turkish Air Force, with an impressive F-16 fighter, is the next announced participant in the biggest Baltic air show! For the first time in the Baltic States! Power, strength, and aesthetics—SoloTurk’s performance is unsurpassed and will make our hearts beat faster!”
