David Bloomer a Radio Bahrain reporter said the atmosphere at the show with all the Chalets reminded him of the Paddock area at Formula One. He met with a Farnborough executive who said deals exceeded One Billion Dollars and attendance was 30,000 over the 3 days period. They are very happy with the organization of the Air Show and the number of planes displayed were 94 planes, while they were expecting 74 planes which is a good surprise for them especially for a first time airshow.
The next Bahrain Air Show will be in 2012 and it will hopefully be fully open to the public.
There were tickets for sale for Business and airplane industry workers on the main gate of the Airshow which were more expensive, but the public tickets were sold out on the first day.
