Aero India 2025: Curbs on meat shops, non-veg food, crane operations near Yelahanka Airbase from Jan 23

Additionally, builders have been directed to reduce the height of cranes and suspend their operations in under-construction high-rise buildings within a 10-km radius of the airbase from February 1 to February 14.

These measures have been implemented as part of standard safety and operational protocols for air shows. BBMP officials stated that non-vegetarian food attracts scavenger birds, which can pose a significant risk to aircraft during take-off, landing and aerial displays. Similarly, cranes and construction equipment near the airbase could interfere with flight paths, endangering both aircraft and spectators.

BBMP officials also stated that construction dust can pose significant risks during air shows by affecting visibility for pilots and interfering with the performance of aircraft equipment.

Violators will face strict action under the BBMP Act, 2020, and Rule 91 of the Indian Aircraft Rules, 1937, as per officials of the civic body and the Joint Director of Town Planning (North Division).

Aero India 2025, the 15th edition of the air show and aviation exhibition known for showcasing cutting-edge aviation technology and thrilling aerial displays, is expected to attract lakhs of participants and visitors from across the globe. The biennial event, renowned for showcasing groundbreaking innovations in aerospace and defense technology, will feature displays of both military and civilian aircraft.
