Wings India 2018 puts forward India as global aviation hub

Wings India 2018, the international exhibition and conference on the civil aviation sector, providing a forum for the rapidly changing dynamics of the sector, was hosted from March 8-10, at the Begumpet Airport in Hyderabad.

With the theme ‘India – Global Aviation Hub’, the event this time focused on connecting cities and towns under India’s regional air connectivity scheme Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagrik (UDAN).

Organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) jointly with the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Airports Authority of India (AAI), the flagship event on civil aviation hosted conferences focusing on aviation policy issues and business aspects with eminent speakers, policy makers and experts.

Even though the event attracted presence of 125 exhibitors and 35 CEOs with representation from countries including France, Germany, United States of America (US), Japan, United Kingdom (UK), Russia, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Italy and Iran, Wings India was missing out on major international airlines, visitors, and the star attraction of the event – aerobatic displays.

With a total of 15 aircraft by ATR, Honda, Trujet, Gulfstream, Boeing, Embraer, Dassault, Club one Air, Aeroteck, Zoom Air, Air India, NAL and others for static display, Hyderabad’s Begumpet airport was filled with fewer aircraft this time. “We were not expecting a low key participation and response. There is hardly any crowd,” a participant who attended previous editions of the show told the Media India Group.
