Bahrain International Air Show 2012 Closing Day
The second Bahrain International Airshow (BIAS) has come to a close with its reservations book for the next edition in 2014 looking extremely healthy.

Many of this year's participating companies also took part in the inaugural event in 2010 and are now already looking forward to repeating the experience again in two years time, proof beyond doubt that this event has established itself as a unique and significant addition to the international Airshow calendar.

The three-day show hosted 37 companies including international and regional major players such as Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, GE, Gulf Air, Lockheed Martin, SELEX Sistemi Integrati TAG Aviation, Red Wings and United Aircraft Corporation. 18 civil delegations were invited and 20 military delegations attended from 15 countries. 35 countries in total were represented and 700 international media were accredited to attend and report on the event. Over 20,000 trade visitors attended over the three days and over 22,000 attended the public event which took place in an arena close to the airbase. These figures show an increase of more than 10,000 on visitor numbers in 2010.
