Hyderabad: will no longer host the biennial civil aviation expo, considered one of the largest in the country. A Defence Ministry spokesman made the announcement in New Delhi on Friday. The civil aviation expo will be part of the Aero India 2019 show in Bengaluru, set to be hosted on five days from February 20-24, 2019.
The official used the word ‘subsuming’ for taking away the premier event from Hyderabad. No reasons have been given for merging the defence-oriented aero show hosted in Bengaluru since 1996, and the civilian aero exhibition which began in 2008.
In March this year, at the International Exhibition and Conference on Civil Aviation in Hyderabad, Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha had scotched rumours about the merger.
The Hyderabad aero show has become part of MICE calendar as India is emerging a big shopper for civilian aircraft.
The domestic aviation market has expanded rapidly over the past few years aided by industry-friendly policies including subsidies for air connectivity to smaller places and the north east.
A recent study released by International Air Transport Association estimated that in 2010, 79 million people travelled to/from/or within India. This number doubled to 158 million in 2017 and is expected to treble by 2037.
