After a gap of nearly a decade, the Aero India Show in Bengaluru is being jointly organised by the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Ministry of Defence. Besides providing a platform for the display of both civil and military products, the show also highlights investment opportunities and development strides that India has made in both the sectors.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation’s engagement with the show began in 2008 when the first India Aviation show was held at Hyderabad’s Begumpet airport.
Exclusively organised for the civil aviation sector, the show saw the world’s largest aircraft — the Airbus A-380 — flying down to India along with the then Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company.
