Even with its manufacturer navigating stormy financial weather through and after the show, the King Air family was again on display and featured its largest FIDAE appearance in 2012. Learn the latest offerings in the half-century King Air legacy, get acquainted with their newest Chilean dealer and representative, Aviasur, and take a peek at the Wichita manufacturer’s delicate cash-flow situation, immediate plans and business forecasts.
Gaceta Aeronáutica correspondents were in place and started gathering information and images four days before the show’s official opening on Tuesday 27 March 2012. Take a look at our “quick daily log” reviewing the most relevant activities recorded day by day, a selection of images captured on-site and our complete table of aircraft participating in the XVII International Air & Space Fair (FIDAE 2012).
The wait is now nearly over! With little over two weeks to go before the show opens on 27 March, the outlook for FIDAE 2012 is taking final shape, although much of its contents will remain under wraps until later in the month. In the third of three instalments on the forthcoming edition of this traditional Chilean air, space, defence & security fair, we disclose our last news round-up summarizing information gathered in the last two months. Then, we’ll start packing-up before heading out to Pudahuel for our initial on-the-spot reports!
Further to our initial report published in early-December 2011, we continue to update our preview to the 17th edition of the International Air & Space Fair (Feria Internacional del Aire y el Espacio, or FIDAE 2012), which opens up on Wednesday 27 March 2012 in the military sector of Pudahuel’s airport in Santiago de Chile.
With four months to go to before the show opens, we though it wise to start constructing a preview of what attendees, visitors and the general public will witness in Pudahuel next year. The 17th edition of the International Air & Space Fair (Feria Internacional del Aire y el Espacio, or FIDAE 2012) opens on Tuesday 27 March 2012 and news are already starting to flow about its envisaged contents.
Little over a month after the show closed its doors, we deliver the first recapitulation of our correspondents to the XV Feria Internacional del Aire y el Espacio (15th Air & Space Fair, or FIDAE 2008), held for the second time at “Arturo Merino Benítez” International Airport in Santiago de Chile. Read on to access our conclusions about the main aircraft exhibits, browse some of the most representative photos taken at the show and inspect our register of aircraft logged during the fair.
