Tickets for Bahrain International Airshow 2012, which are being sold at all Batelco Retail Shops, are selling fast with top telecom firm Batelco reporting high demand for tickets for the three day event.

Batelco, the leading telecom service provider in Bahrain, is a major sponsor of the event which will take place at the Sakhir Airbase from January 19 to 21.

Adult tickets are priced at BD7 ($18.5) per day with tickets for children, up to 15 years of age, priced at BD3. Discount of 5 per cent is available on the purchase of 20 or more tickets, which can be of any type and for any of the three dates.

The tickets are for entrance to the public area which will feature viewing stands and a wide range of entertainment and dining options. All visitors must park their cars at the Bahrain International Circuit where shuttle buses will be available to transport them to the airshow.

Visitors can experience a high speed jet experience in a cutting edge flight simulator. Two simulators, which hold up to 10 people each, are being shipped in for the occasion from the UK.

Additionally, seven attractions are arriving from the UK as part of an Inflatable Fun Zone to cater to children of all ages. The items include a Water Balls Experience which will enable visitors to walk, run and collide on water inside giant inflated balls.

As a finale to each day’s programme, there will be a fireworks display set to music giving visitors the chance to witness a spectacle over the skies of Bahrain.

“Following the positive reviews of the 2010 event, Batelco was delighted to confirm its sponsorship for the 2012 Airshow,” said Batelco Group general manager Media Relations Ahmed Al Janahi.

“The excellent range of entertainment being provided for the general public promises a lot of fun for families,” added Al Janahi. – TradeArabia News Service
