Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council have voted to press ahead with plans to hold an air show in 2022, despite opposition from some nationalist councillors.
The motion, proposed by Limavady councillor Aaron Callan, will see the council develop an International Causeway Airshow to mark the Queen s Platinum Jubilee next year.
Cllr Callan said it would also mark 30 years since the original air show in Portrush.
“We are looking to reinvigorate and take this air show in a new direction,” he told the council.
