The Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT), held annually at RAF Fairford, is one of the world’s most prestigious airshows, attracting aviation enthusiasts, military personnel, and global industry leaders. For 2025, CLE was proud to partner with our clients to deliver exceptional hospitality suites, ensuring a premium guest experience at this iconic event.
Our role in creating unforgettable moments
At an event where precision, performance, and presentation take centre stage, CLE brought the same level of excellence to our hospitality support. Our team worked alongside our clients to provide hospitality management, from initial planning through to on the ground delivery.
Key responsibilities included:
- Catering coordination: Working alongside the venue appointed caterer, we elevate the offering to the level of service our clients are accustomed to
- Hospitality suite styling: Consult with the design and delivery of bespoke floorplans to maximise the efficiency of the spaces created for both dining and business use
- Guest experience management: Coordinating smooth arrivals, seating, and onsite support to ensure guests enjoyed a seamless day from start to finish
- Health & safety oversight: Ensuring compliance with event and venue regulations, so everything ran safely and smoothly
The challenge: Creating luxury in a dynamic environment
RIAT is a dynamic and bustling event, with thousands of attendees, aircraft demonstrations, and high profile guests. CLE’s challenge was to create private, comfortable, and elevated hospitality spaces that offered a true escape from the excitement outside, while still maintaining a clear connection to the energy and spectacle of the airshow.
We worked closely with suppliers and venue teams to manage logistics, deliveries, and setup with military precision. Our team’s strong local relationships and meticulous planning ensured every element from table settings to technical requirements was in place well before the first jet took to the skies.
The CLE Difference
At CLE, we understand that hospitality suites are more than just spaces, they’re a brand statement and a platform for building relationships. For the 2025 Royal International Air Tattoo, we were proud to deliver an experience that balanced luxury, functionality, and immersion in the world class aviation atmosphere of RIAT.
Looking Ahead
As we reflect on the success of the 2025 event, we’re already excited about supporting our clients at future shows. Our approach is always the same: seamless planning, creative design, and flawless execution that allows clients to focus on their guests, while we take care of every detail.
