The 12th edition of the Aero India Show 2019 (February 20–24) that opens on Wednesday at the Air Force Station Yelahanka, and is organised every two years, is expected to be a watered-down version this time with a lower turnout of exhibitors and aircraft from India and abroad, compared with Aero India 2017.
This time, there are 403 registered exhibitors of which 238 are Indian companies and 165 are foreign firms.
There will only be 61 aircraft at the show, unlike in 2017, which attracted 549 registered exhibitors of which 270 were Indian and 279 foreign companies.
