The event's organisers of Shoreham Airshow Ltd said it remained "fully committed" to the
investigation and that "careful consultation and consideration" was
given to this year's event.
"The decision has been
taken primarily out of respect for all those affected by last August's tragedy
and also in view of the ongoing Air Accidents Investigation Branch
investigation - and any review of their regulations that the Civil Aviation
Authority may subsequently undertake," a statement from the organisers
said.
2016 year's Shoreham
Airshow has been cancelled after 11 people died when a plane crashed during
last year's event.
More than a dozen people
were also injured when the vintage Hawker Hunter jet crashed on the A27 in West
Sussex on 22 August.
The Air Accidents
Investigation Branch is still trying to discover what caused the jet to crash.
"We understand that
this decision may be disappointing for many who have been part of the extended
Shoreham Airshow family over the years.
"We would like to
thank everyone who has supported the air show for the last 26 years,
particularly local volunteers and the surrounding community."
