The exhibition features a career guidance centre focusing on extensive opportunities in defence, civil, and high-altitude aviation sectors.
The three-day event is open to school students for two consecutive days. On Sunday, it will be open to the public with free entry.
The expo features live aircraft displays, including two CESSNA (small, single engine, general aviation) aircraft, a Hawker aircraft, and a helicopter, along with other attractions such as drone operations, robotics demonstrations, a parade by female aviation cadets, a shooting section with over 10 rifle models, and a simulator-based 'Around the World in 80 Minutes' experience.
