The festival, which signifies the return of air festivals to Porto after four editions of the Red Bull Air Race in the second decade of the century, will include aeroplane races, aerobatics, drones, model aircraft, a defence fair and concerts, and aims to promote the region and air and aerospace literacy, revealed the organisation.

Castro Almeida used figures from the Faculty of Economics to estimate that the event's return to the country "is slightly over 100 million euros," classifying it, therefore, as a "relevant initiative that municipalities are taking in favour of economic growth."

Regarding the cost of organizing the event, the governor revealed that "in the case of the State, it's just under four million euros, and with the municipalities, it will reach five million and a bit."

According to Luís Castro, head of the organization, Air Invictus "will be divided into 15 points of interest" and aims to "attract one million people to the region," revealing that it will be a festival "with 100% carbon offsetting, with the CO2 footprint neutralized through reforestation and the purchase of carbon credits."

Included in the event will be an exhibition of 40 aircraft, some of which were used in World War II, at the Maia aerodrome, as well as an attempt to break the European record for drones in the air, as revealed by Luís Castro. The fact that the Ferreirinha bridge is under construction led the organization's spokesperson to admit that Air Invictus may be a one-off event, as there will be less space for the planes to perform aerobatics afterwards.
