Hyderabad: “It is very disappointing.” That was the reaction from many visitors, who visited the India Aviation 2012 expo at Begumpet airport on Saturday, the first day when the expo was thrown open to general public.
There was no Dreamliner, Airbus nor any big aircraft. Dreamliner was touted as the biggest attraction at the expo and people were curious to have a look at the big bird. “But it is very disappointing to know that the plane took off on Friday itself”, remarked P.J. Samuel, a visitor.
During the business days, 22 aircraft, including a few helicopters from across the globe, were on display at the expo. But when it was thrown open to public on Saturday, many flights had already taken off, leaving many upset.
While, the organisers claimed that 17 aircraft were on display at the expo on Saturday, visitors had a different opinion.
“Except for couple of helicopters and aircraft, hardly there are any planes at the show. Lot of efforts were put in to obtain tickets and arrive at the expo amidst scorching heat but only to get disappointed,” says Subhodh Das, another visitor.
Moreover, the aircraft were parked at a distance and placement of barricades prevented a close look.
