The news comes after organisers confirmed on Mondaythat the Swedish fighter jet the Saab J37 Viggen would no longer be able to take part in the show as a result of “operational challenges”.
Meanwhile, the Cri-Cri, an electric aircraft, along with its mothership, was said to be struggling with “crew availability”.
Last year, it was confirmed that the 2024 display would not feature its star attraction, the Red Arrows, as they will be on tour in Canada.
It was also announced earlier this year that Second World War bomber plane, the Avro Lancaster, would not take part due to it being part of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, which grounded its Spitfires and Hurricanes and cut the number of engine hours on the Avro Lancaster after a squadron leader died in a Spitfire crash in May.
Aircraft that are due to appear include the Second World War-era Saab B17 dive bomber, the RAF Falcons Parachute Display Team and the French Air Force’s Équipe de Voltige de l’Armée de l’Air.

It had been unclear whether the Air Display would go ahead due to a “shortfall in financial support”.
However, a last-minute public appeal for funds helped rescue the event.
Event organiser Mike Higgins said he was “eternally grateful” for the “generosity of islanders” who he said had saved the event. He admitted that “some cuts” were necessary, including the loss of two static displays – one at Jersey Airport and the other on the Lower Park in St Helier.
The first arrival for the 2024 display landed this morning.
