India Aviation show ready to take off

Hyderabad: The third edition of the international exhibition and conference on civil aviation - India Aviation- 2012 -- is all set to be held in the city beginning March 14 sans the glamour of an aerobatics display, a much-awaited highlight of any such event, because of the tragic deaths caused due to crash of a Naval Kiran HJT in a civilian area during inauguration of the 2010 show.
Spread over five days, the only mega event for civil aviation in India will kick off with a three-day business event. Marked by India debut of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, a total of 21 aircraft including Russia's Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft, Brazilian Embraer's two business jets Phenom 300 and 100, among others will be on static display during the event. The show will wrap up with two days for general public on March 17 and 18.
Jointly organized by the Union ministry of civil aviation and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Ficci), India Aviation-2012 will have UK as the partner country, France as the focus country and USA as the guest country.
Around 200-250 players from 18 countries including aircraft makers like Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Embraer, Gulfstream, Piaggio, Sukhoi, helicopter makers like AgustaWestland, Sikorsky, Bell Helicopter and Eurocopter as well as aircraft engine makers like Rolls Royce, GE, Pratt & Whitney, among others will be participating in the show, FIcci's regional director (trade fairs) Lt Col Vivekanand Kodikal told newspersons on Saturday.
