An air show with the Jas Gripen in connection with a vintage car exhibition has been canceled due to a series of anonymous threats, writes Norra Halland.

The air show was to take place at Tjolöholm Classic Motor in Halland on Sunday.

– We received several anonymous threats that there would be environmental actions in connection with the meeting and then we became worried. We go bankrupt if activists shut down E6, for example, says events general Fredrik Dahlgren to the newspaper.

He estimates that the event lost around 2,000 visitors due to the canceled show.
