The Red Arrows are set to cross Leicestershire this weekend, landing at East Midlands Airport before heading out again the next day. The display team is expected to be visible over several parts of the county on Saturday, June 13, 2026, then return on Sunday with another pass over the same area.
For people searching red arrows flight path today 2026, the key detail is timing. The team is expected to come in to land at East Midlands Airport at 1.32pm on Saturday after passing over Stathern, Hose, Long Clawson and Loughborough. On Sunday, they are due to take off at 2.48pm for RAF Cosford in the West Midlands and should be back over Leicestershire at around 3.25pm on the way home to Lincolnshire.
That gives communities across Leicestershire two chances to see the jets in a tight window. The route on Sunday is set to take them directly over Coalville, Quorn, Frisby-on-the-Wreake, Melton, Stathern and Bottesford, while Saturday’s arrival links their movement to East Midlands Airport and a stopover between flights. The sequence also shows how the Red Arrows are being used as part of a wider weekend movement rather than a single display.
There is, though, a catch in the timings. The times are given as fixed points, but they are also subject to change and weather conditions, which means the clearest plan on paper may not be the one that appears in the sky. For anyone hoping to watch, that means the route matters as much as the clock, and the most reliable reading is that the flyovers are scheduled, not guaranteed to the minute.
Even so, the pattern is clear enough to follow. The Red Arrows will leave RAF Waddington near Lincoln at lunchtime on Saturday, head south to London, return to Grantham, and then touch down at East Midlands Airport before the weekend’s second pass. If the weather holds, the best answer to the question of where they are going next is simple: back over Leicestershire on Sunday afternoon, then on to RAF Cosford before heading home to Lincolnshire.
