NATO Days

NATO Days in Ostrava & Czech Air Force Days are the biggest 'security' show in Europe. The motto of the event is: “Our security cannot be taken for granted and there is no prosperity without security”, therefore the event’s aim is to present a wide spectrum of the resources and the capabilities of the Czech Republic and its allies in the field of security provisions for the general public. NATO Days in Ostrava belong to a “club of prestigious European shows” and, in spite of annually rising costs, the public had, has and always will have free entry to the event.

The main programme, taking place at Ostrava's Leos Janacek Airport, consists of presentations of heavy military hardware, police and rescue equipment, dynamic displays of special forces’ training, flying displays and presentations of armaments, equipment and gear of individual units. This is the only event that brings the up-to-date technology that is used by soldiers, fire fighters, policemen, customs officers, the prison service, the municipal police and other elite units to one location. In addition to that, each year the organizers try to offer something really special, for example – displays of top flying teams or the biggest military transport planes etc. NATO Days in the city of Ostrava consist also of meetings, presentations, workshops and seminars.
