But, some of the events like aerobatics, flypasts and other acrobatic manoeuvres will not be there as last year the aviation show witnessed a fatal accident, killing two pilots, when an Indian Navy's aircraft crashed in the vicinity soon after the inauguration of the aviation summit, The Hindu newspaper reported.
In another disappointment, Boeing's Dreamliner will not be on display on March 17 and 18, the two days when the exhibition will be thrown open to the public. The Dreamliner will arrive at Begumpet airport on March 14 and leave once the business sessions are through, the report said.
The Sukhoi Superjet 100 and Phenom 300 and 100 business jets of Embraer along with helicopters of Eurocopter, Augusta Westland, Sikorsky and Bell will be on display.
