16th Aero India to Be Held at Bengaluru in February 2027

The correct answer is Air Force Station, Yelahanka, Bengaluru. The 16th edition of Aero India is scheduled there from 8 to 12 February 2027, in the state of Karnataka, and is organised by the Department of Defence Production under the Ministry of Defence. Option A names an air force station in the National Capital Region that hosts other military aviation events but not this one. Option C names an airport in Hyderabad which has hosted air shows in the past, which makes it a plausible distractor, but the release does not mention it. Option D is a convention centre in the capital used for summits and expositions, not an air show that requires a runway for flying displays. Remember that Aero India needs an operational airfield, because the Indian Air Force and international flying teams perform aerial displays during the five days.

The correct answer is the Department of Defence Production. It organises Aero India under the Ministry of Defence, which fits the show's purpose of displaying India's capability in aerospace and defence manufacturing and drawing in partnerships, investment and exports. Options B, C and D name the other departments that sit within the same ministry, which is what makes them useful distractors. The Department of Military Affairs deals with the armed forces and their functioning. The Department of Defence Research and Development runs the country's defence research establishment. The Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare looks after pensions and resettlement. Only the first is named in the release. Candidates should also remember that the 2027 edition is expected to give an impetus to Aatmanirbhar Bharat and to open avenues for Indian firms, including MSMEs and start-ups.

The correct answer is 3 September 2026. The release says exhibitor registration was scheduled to commence on that date through the dedicated portal www.aeroindia.gov.in, which was built to handle registration and the booking of exhibition space for both exhibitors and visitors. Option A is the date the announcement itself was issued, one day earlier, and is the trap in this question. Option C does not appear in the release. Option D is the opening day of the show, not of registration, and the two are nearly five months apart. A clean way to hold the timeline is as three dates: the announcement on 2 September 2026, registration from 3 September 2026, and the show itself from 8 to 12 February 2027 at Air Force Station Yelahanka in Bengaluru.

The correct answer is the 16th edition, running five days. The show is scheduled from 8 to 12 February 2027, which is a span of five days, and the release calls it the 16th edition of Aero India. Options A, B and D pair the wrong edition number with the wrong duration and are offered because candidates often recall one of the two correctly while guessing the other. The five days carry a comprehensive exhibition, business and strategic engagements between industry and government, technology demonstrations and collaborations, and aerial displays by the Indian Air Force and participating international flying teams. Aero India is described in the release as Asia's largest air show and one of the world's premier aerospace and defence exhibitions, which is why the edition number is a common examination question.
