Aero India 2019: Bengaluru cheers prestigious air show will stay

Bengaluru: The announcement by the Union government on Saturday that Bengaluru will continue to be the venue for Aero India brought cheer to thousands of aviation enthusiasts, who will now get another chance to view flying and static display at the air show. In the past few weeks, the prospect of the popular air show being shifted out of Bengaluru, where it has been held since 1996, had resulted in several campaigns, including a signature campaign at two prominent colleges, to convince the government not to change the venue.
According to the Ministry of Defence, the 12th edition of the show will be held between February 20 and 24. “We are excited with the decision as we have been regulars at Aero India since we shifted to Bengaluru in 2010. The event has become synonymous with brand Bengaluru and it would have been a pity to see it leave the city,” said Subrata Chatterjee, a resident of Whitefield.
The biennial air show, which has some eye-catching flight displays by aerobats, fighter jets and other planes, is a huge hit among people who throng to the Yelahanka Air Force Station for every show with some returning on all days.
