ABU DHABI // The 11th Al Ain air show will feature a new championship competition format this year.
The Al Ain Air Championship — formerly known as Al Ain Aerobatic Show — will also have more on-the-ground entertainment, said organisers the Abu Dhabi Tourism and Cultural Authority.
Flying aces from around the world, military teams and civilian daredevils will square off against one another in a three-day series of contests. They will be scored in four style categories by a panel of aviation experts and celebrity judges.
Digital voting by spectators will also count towards competitor totals. There will also be displays by stunt pilots, wing walkers and parachutists.
Visitors will also be able to enjoy a 60,000 square metre championship village, where they can view new aircraft, interactive stands, runway demos and parades.
A main stage performance in the centre of the village will host nightly musical entertainment.
The event takes place at Al Ain International Airport from December 17 to 19. Opening hours have been extended from 11am to 9pm
