Bangalore: The federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Ficci) expects to generate revenues in excess of Rs 35 crore from Aero India 2007 - the sixth edition of the international aerospace and defence exhibition. Considering that international aviation majors had to pay more than Rs 50 lakh to the organisers for setting up infrastructure facilities such as exhibition stalls and hospitality chalets alone, the revenue figure of Rs 35 crore appears to be a very conservative figure.
For the first time, an the international aerospace and defence exposition is being organised by private parties such as Ficci and Farnborough International Limited (FIL) in association with Ministry of Defence. “We must note that as per the tender process Ficci also had to pay $3 million as a guarantee or royalty fee to the Ministry of Defence, ” Dr Amit Mitra, Secretary General, Ficci told ET.
According to Ficci, participation levels have gone up by 80%, when compared to the previous edition of the show. More than 450 exhibitors, up from 176 in 1998 are participating at Aero India 2007. The international exhibitors had to pay $480 per sqm (Rs 21,120) for the raw indoor space, $33,000 (Rs 14 lakh) for the basic hospitality chalet and anywhere between $1,500-$10,500 for aircraft display area.

Aero India 2007, one of Asia's most prestigious aeroshow and aerospace events, and an eagerly awaited event in the country, is due to open for business and public exposition on 8 February, 2007, and will conclude on 11 February, 2007. This sixth such event, like the previous five, will be hosted at Air Force Base (AFB), Yelahanka, Bangalore, and will consist of two major events - an international seminar and an exhibition, that will include static and flying displays.
Aero India 2007 is being organised by the defence exhibition organisation (DEO), a nodal agency for such events, functioning under the ministry of defence, government of India (GOI). For the first time ever, though, the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) and Farnborough International Limited have assumed responsibilities as event managers.
The exhibition at Yelahanka will have on display aerospace products from all over the world, and will also host the crowd-wowing flying display. The static displays in the hangars, and on the tarmac, will also allow the curious to come up close to birds that they have seen only from afar, or if at all.
The exhibition will cater to an international audience, allowing aircraft manufacturers and technology providers to showcase global aviation and aerospace solutions and services. The Yelahanka show will provide an ideal forum for the promotion and showcasing of these products.
