Aerobatics, job fair, films to add zing to aviation summit

Hyderabad: Four years after the inaugural session of the India Aviation Summit-2010 ended in tragedy after a naval HJT-16 Kiran Mk2 trainer carrying out aerobatic stunts crashed into a residential building, the roar of aircraft engines will once again fill the Hyderabad skies as daredevil pilots show off breathtaking aerobatic maneouvres to enthrall enthusiasts at the fourth edition of the biennial international exhibition & conference on civil aviation -- India Aviation Summit -- 2014.
Of course, for a change it won't be dashing Indian Navy pilots doing the honours, but pilots from UK-based Mark Jefferies Airshows and Display Aerobatics that will add the much-needed colour and zing to the inaugural that will be graced by Union aviation minister Ajit Singh and Andhra Pradesh governor ESL Narasimhan, apart from the who's who of the aviation industry. The UK-based pilots - Mark Jefferies and Tom Cassells - will also perform spectacular manoeuvres, tumbles and spins in the air twice a day throughout the five-day show from March 12 to 16.
The theme of this year's aviation blitzkrieg is 'Enhancing Air Connectivity' as airlines are increasingly looking at new market opportunities beyond the metros. Some of the industry giants expected to be in attendance during the event include Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Gulfstream, Dassault Aviation, Embraer, HAL, Rolls Royce, Pratt & Whitney and UTC among others.
