Not sure if this is a typo or not, but their 2024 ICAS calendar shows the event as cancelled.

Officially cancelled.
Sad news today folks. The airport administration team and Airport Advisory Board have decided to cancel the show for 2024. In the recent weeks, our carnival cancelled, there were mounting concerns of liability, and multiple other hurdles. Since this event was being put on directly by airport staff with the support of volunteers, there was also concern about workload and lack of time to put a quality show together. We hope to bring this event back in the future with the support of an airshow producer. We deeply regret disappointing the fans and the sponsors, but this is not the end. The airport will continue to look for ways to do fun activities that include the community. Thank you for your support and look forward to reconnecting in the future!!
