Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi) has announced the official date of the eleventh edition of the Al Ain Air Championship (previously known as Al Ain Aerobatic Show) featuring a new championship competition format and an expanded programme of on-the-ground entertainment guaranteed to enthral flying enthusiasts and families alike in the region.

Hosted at Al Ain International Airport from 17th to 19th December 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 daredevils, 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 spectacular closing ceremony to be staged in front of show crowds on Saturday 19th December.

A massive 60,000 square metre 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.
