Asia’s largest civil aviation expo, Wings India 2026, ended on Saturday, January 31, in Hyderabad after four exciting days. Held at Begumpet Airport, the event drew huge crowds, especially over the last two days when it was open to the public. Sources estimate about 70,000 visitors attended during this time, with Saturday alone attracting 45,000 to 50,000 people. The large turnout caused heavy traffic jams near the airport. Roads from Begumpet to Secunderabad were nearly blocked, and parking inside the airport filled quickly, forcing officials to use alternate parking lots. Visitors were thrilled by flying shows from the Indian Air Force’s Suryakiran Aerobatic Team and the Mark Jefferies Global Stars Aerobatic Team. Spectators cheered loudly and recorded the stunts on their phones. Veena, 43, said, “My son gets uncomfortable in large crowds so I had to leave the venue. While I was leaving, the Suryakiran show had started and we got a better view from here.” However, many were disappointed that some major planes left early. Only the Russian Ilyushin IL-114-300 and Superjet SJ-100 remained among the larger aircraft by Saturday. Smaller planes and helicopters made up the rest of the display. IT professional Mahima shared her experience, “We had seen Instagram reels of the Air India Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner here but when we came, we were told it had left two days ago.” Parking was another sore point. One lot near the Civil Aviation Research Organisation was full by 2 p.m. Rahul said, “It took me 15 to 20 minutes to find a parking spot from the entrance.” Despite these challenges, Wings India 2026 ended on a high note with memorable air displays and thousands of excited visitors.
