Turkey is to host PG Aerobatics Worlds in 2024

The Paragliding Aerobatics committee proposed, the CIVL Bureau allowed and the Plenary confirmed - the 4th FAI World Paragliding Aerobatic Championships will be held in Oludeniz, Fethiye, Turkey on September 9-15, 2024. This place has hosted the World Acro Cup 2022 and World Acro Cup Superfinal 2023 and the organizer - Babadağ Teleferik -  was trusted by CIVL Acro Committee and the Bureau to run the Worlds without a test event.

The event has the support of the Turkish Air Association (THK), the Ministry of Youth and Sport, the Governor of Muğla, District Governor of Fethiye. This place has a well-developed infrastructure and welcomes independent paragliders and competitions regulary. 

The weather in Ölüdeniz is usually good for paragliding in every season so much so that it is a very important area for paragliding flights in Turkey. It is known that the sea breeze offers a very calm and gentle air movement. For this reason, an extreme change in weather is not expected. On the date of the competition, we expect the wind to be within the limits. The expected maximum wind speed will remain around 20km. Also, cloudy weather is not expected on these dates. During this period, thermal activities are low and the weather is not very hot.
