Bangalore: The Make In India-themed five-day Aero India 2015, scheduled to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is expected to be by far the largest air show India has ever seen. Defence ministry officials are expecting this event - the tenth edition of Aero India - to be not just beneficial in terms of business opportunities for Indian private companies in the defence sector, but also an unprecedented visual treat for the public in general.
Five aerobatic teams, besides Indian Air Force's (IAF's) Sarang helicopter team, have confirmed their participation at the event, which will be held at Air Force Station, Yelahanka (AFSY) off Bellary Road, defence production secretary G Mohan Kumar said at a presser conducted via video conference from New Delhi.
He said the Swedish Air Force team, Aero Superbatics (UK), Airborne Services Ltd (UK), Flying Bulls (Czechosl-ovakia), and the US Special Forces have confirmed their performances over the five days of the event.
Mohan Kumar said the total space dedicated for the event has been more than doubled from Aero India 2013's 1.08 lakh sq metres to about 2.6 lakh sq metres, while the floor area for exhibits inside the five massive hangars-turned-exhibition halls has been increased by 35 per cent. A total of 72 aircraft will participate in the event.
