Digital Voting By Spectators Will Be Considered
The 11th edition of the Al Ain Air Show in Abu Dhabi will feature competitions that organizers hope will let attendees feel more engaged with the event.
The event has been re-dubbed the Al Ain Air Championship (previously known as Al Ain Aerobatic Show) featuring a new championship competition format and an expanded program of on-the-ground entertainment.
Hosted at Al Ain International Airport from December 17th to 19th, 2015, the championship format will feature a select field of invited flying "aces" from around the world, including a mix of elite military teams and civilian pilots, who will square off against each other in a three-day series of head-to-head competition heats. Competitors will be scored in four different style categories by a group of aviation experts and celebrity judges. Interactive digital voting by spectators will also count towards competitor point totals, allowing the fans to have a direct say in which team walks off with the new Championship trophy.
The overall winner will be crowned Grand Champion during a closing ceremony to be staged in front of show crowds on Saturday December 19th.
On the ground, the Championship Village will offer a wide range of aircraft displays, interactive activities, a dedicated family area and a new line-up of food trucks as well as exciting musical entertainment providing all day family fun for the tens of thousands of visitors.
