Does somebody know if, and if so when Ocean Sky 2021 at Gando Las Palmas will take place this year? Information on this topic will be highly appreciated.

It states that the military apron is only available for aircraft involved in the exercise Ocean Sky-21 from 30 September to 1 November 2021. Maybe from 30 September to 15 October to prepare for the exercise and the last 2 weeks of October for the exercise itself.
