OSHKOSH, WIS. – EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2021 will soon be here, July 26 – August 1, 2021, and EAA is welcoming its members back to Oshkosh for the weeklong event in a safe and efficient way. This year, EAA is offering an upgrade to greatly improve the member’s experience.
Safety has always been a top priority for EAA and Airbus, and this year it is more important than ever. That’s why EAA has proudly partnered with Airbus to offer “Express Arrival.” To make admission to AirVenture as safe and effortless as possible, when members register in advance and select Express Arrival, EAA will send their wristbands, parking, and Camp Scholler passes to them by mail.
This will reduce crowding at key entry points, support EAA’s safety efforts by promoting social distancing, and improve the efficiency of the overall entry process. With Express Arrival, members will be able to bypass the admission windows and head straight to the gates.
Camping in Camp Scholler? Members can get to their campsites without ever leaving their car. With Express Arrival, there’s no need to stop at camper registration or any of the admissions windows.*
Express Arrival, in partnership with Airbus, is exclusively available to U.S. members who have valid EAA memberships through at least July 31, 2021. Shipping is FREE of charge, but members must order their passes by June 15, 2021 to take advantage of Express Arrival.
If you are not yet a member, make sure you join now to take advantage of this members-only benefit. Don’t forget, EAA members also save on their admission purchases. Join before purchasing your tickets to participate in Express Arrival and receive the best discount on your AirVenture tickets (https://www.eaa.org).
Carry-in bags with Express Arrival admissions are still subject to security screening per safety protocol.
