No "Persons under the age of 18 years, will not be given entry to the exhibition"

The Query was " Can i visit the Aero India 2011 as a general visitor . my age is 14 yrs . will i be allowed ? "

AS GENERAL VISITOR .....................YES YOU CAN !

The above answer is wrong as it refers to Exhibition area and not General Area as the Query pointed to.

Cheers!

Trust the Indian govt and the quasi govt bodies to make things as difficult for the aam aadmi as well as the aviation fanatics.

For a aviation enthusiast the ticket is at Rs 1500 per person per day

Entrance fees Rs 4,500/- for 3 days
Train fare Rs 3,000/- approx
B/L Rs 5,000/ for 3 days
Travelling Rs 1,000/-
BR Meet Rs 500/-
Misc
TOTAL Rs 14,000/-

I suppose that the employees of some Bangalore based aircraft related PSU it is Rs 0 per day including his wife/mistress, father/mother, father/mother-in-law, brother/sister-in-law etc ON BUSINESS DAYS.

I think I will skip it this year

I believe you can. I was 17 during the last AI and I was able to get a ticket as a business visitor (Rs. 1500).

sarkar · Post by **sarkar** » 21 Dec 2010 20:07

Few questions..
1. What are advantages for a Business Visitor than a General Visitor.
2. Bags are not allowed(mentioned on the site).. Does this include Camera Bag(DSLR size) also?
3. Is online registration mandatory?

aniket · Post by **aniket** » 21 Dec 2010 21:21

thanks oleanau ,but my parents wont allow me to do so.

You will not be allowed into the exhibition halls. You will be allowed into the general viewing area (separate entrance0 for the air displays. I think that you will also be allowed on to the tarmac to see the static exhibits on the public days - usually last 2 days.

Yes It is a haram for any aviation freak. It is only meant for defence / IAF, firangis, hardworkig PSU employees and their super extended families.

Bump. Paging Kapil--please elaborate. What caused you to make this statement? Some of us are making plans and time is short.

shiv · Post by **shiv** » 01 Jan 2011 19:55

I spoke to Kapil. The problem seems to be lack of timely response from the Aero India authorities - possibly because all stall space is sold out.

Bala Vignesh · Post by **Bala Vignesh** » 01 Jan 2011 20:25

^^ I believe they are adding another hangar for extra space... Was mentioned in the homepage of the site...

Ah, OK thanks Shiv & Bala.

vivekIyer · Post by **vivekIyer** » 02 Jan 2011 00:32

I totally agree with Kersi Sir.

I have been attending the Aero India since 2005, and have always payed for the exhibition ticket, sadly to find the place full of free loaders, all these PSU jokers (No offence meant to some of the genuine hardworking variety), their family et-all. I don't know but the enthusiast seems to have been completely forgotten. It is we who spend the hard earned money for the exhibition ticket, but are always at the receiving end. They don't even have a functional toilet, the last time I spend an hour searching for one :-(.

The facilities are awful, I might as well skip this years event. How ever it would be great to have a bharat-rakshak get together like we had last time for Aero 2009.

Will there be a BRF -AI meet?

If a tentative date can be put across, it will be very helpful for people coming from far and wide to prepare for the meet.

Hello guys, i am kapil and this is my first post

I have been looking forward to visit AeroIndia for a long time and can finally do it this year. I am a bit confused about the options though and would be grateful if anyone here could help me out

I am looking to visit only one day, Saturday or Sunday
When will there be air displays?
If i take the business visitor pass, it is not available for sunday? so if the air display is on sunday cant i vist the exibition?
why is the price ticket in INR and $ ? do we have to pay both?

please advise me on which day i should visit and as general or business visitor

Thanks in advance!

VishalJ · Post by **VishalJ** » 09 Jan 2011 02:29

^ @Kapilp: Air Displays will be on EVERY day beginning Feb 9th till Feb 13th.

Biz Visitor Pass is Only for February 9th, 10th, 11th & 12th - This pass will allow you entry into the Exhibition Halls Also!
Gen Visitor Pass is for AVDA or Air Display Viewing Area Onlee,
if i were you i will either buy a Biz Visitor Pass or Just enjoy the show from outside.

NO You do not have to pay both

& $ - you'll pay in

In a Nutshell,
Biz Visitor Pass :

+ Access to Exhibition Halls

Gen Visitor Pass :

They've also mentioned that Outside Food isnt allowed. About that, oh never mind

Plan you arrival properly else you'd spend 25% of the time in getting to the venue, 35% of the time in the Mile Long Queue - by the time you get in, you'll be gasping for breath or some rest for your feet, rest i'll leave upto you to figure out

Nice job on capturing symmetry in the folks sitting there - and all the chaos in the next one

Its official - I wont be making it to AI

- busy office schedule and prohibitive cost of logistics working against me - this year.
Hope to make it for the next one.

All the best to you Vishal - and other folks - get some nice pictures this time round
